This course aims to give students an overview of main issues discussed in modern political and moral philosophy. It emphasizes fundamental questions concerning rights, state, freedom, obligation, and happiness.
This course aims to give students an overview of main issues discussed in contemporary political philosophy. Political philosophy is distinguished from political science or sociology in that it adopts principally normative approach. As normative theory, political philosophy has made a remarkable revival and development since John Rawls, American philosopher, published A Theory of Justice in 1971. What problems does contemporary political philosophy focus on? How does it attempt to solve those problems? The first part of this course makes clear a variety of criticisms addressed to modern political philosophy in order to understand the issues that contemporary theories have raised since the 1970’s. The second deals with three conceptions of freedom, each of which represents particular position in contemporary political philosophy. The third explains fundamental ideas of Rawlsian theory of justice, and also three criticisms directed towards his liberal conception. The fourth shows how political philosophers tackle concrete issues raised by today's social and global situation, particularly with regard to culture, gender, and global justice.
The mission of this class will examine the improvement of human survivability in extreme environments through research and design practice. Human being has always confronted difficult environments and opened up new frontiers. This challenge against extreme environments can be seen in many forms such as exploration, environmental research, resource development, evacuation from disaster, space exploration etc.
We, "mission crew members" will prove that "design" can contribute for our pioneering journey in future human history.
This year, we are going to study about "protein harvesting" in space!
