This course explores the political nature of social interactions, social contexts, and social structures, and will incorporate these concepts into a conceptualization of the field of politics. The works of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Bentham, and Mills will be analyzed through a sociological lens and used to examine the formation of contemporary political structures and debates. Throughout the course, themes from past works will be utilized to critique current topics in our present day political discourse.
