We have finished reading Plato's Republic, and we are now reading Politics by Aristotle. I really think that the Republic is an amazing work, but I hate the dialectic method that Plato uses.

We will be reading Locke's Second Treatise on Government, Marx's Selected Writings, and Walzer's Spheres of Justice. I'm really excited about the syllabus.

If you are interested, I am putting my papers online. If you would like, I can also add my class notes if any of you want it. If so, email me.

Here they are:

Paper 1: Anselm's Ontology

Paper 2: Three tenets of God

Paper 3: Polemarchus' challenge to Socrates

Paper 4: Plato's theory of the soul

Paper 5: Plato's theory of the tyrannical soul

Paper 6: Aristotles theory of the natural state
