W/S-062 Passions and politics in modern and contemporary political philosophy

COURSE INFORMATION

Which is the role of human passions in politics? How are power, the law or the social contract related to passions? Are there passions that are proper to particular political regimes and incongruous with others? These are some of the questions addressed (sometimes implicitly) by modern and contemporary political philosophy.
After an introductory lecture on what has been called the re-evaluation of passions in modern political philosophy, the seminar focuses on the passion of fear. We study selected passages from Machiavelli, Hobbes. Spinoza, Montesquieu and Arendt (see bibliogrpahy).
