Description

Lecture 01 - Introduction: What is Political Philosophy? Professor Smith discusses the nature and scope of "political philosophy."

The oldest of the social sciences, the study of political philosophy must begin with the works of Plato and Aristotle, and examine in depth the fundamental concepts and categories of the study of politics. The questions "which regimes are best?" and "what constitutes good citizenship?" are posed and discussed in the context of Plato's Apology. (from oyc.yale.edu)
