This module is on Political Philosophy, a branch of Ethics. How ought we to conduct ourselves in a social order? In today’s charged political climate, it is undoubtedly one of the most controversial and contentious areas of philosophy. Participation in this discussion, as in them all, requires complete objectivity. Any position is accepted, but reason must be free of fallacies, especially those of the variety. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will incur heavy deductions. When you refer to information from the text, identify the location in parenthesis (MLA Intext Citation). In your replies, either support your fellow student’s answers or kindly refute them. Analyze reasoning, pointing out strong or weak premises or reasons as well as fallacies. Philosophy is built upon successful written and spoken communication.
