	Political philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roman political philosophy was influenced by the Stoics, and the Roman statesman Cicero wrote on political philosophy.
		The early Christian philosophy of Augustine of Hippo was by and large a rewrite of Plato in a Christian context.
		Political and economic relations were drastically changed by these views as the guild was subordinated to free trade, and Roman Catholic dominance of theology was increasingly challenged by Protestant churches subordinate to each nation-state and which preached in the "vulgar" or native language of each region.

	Political Philosophy
		This conceptual distinction continues to operate in political science, although some political scientists, philosophers, historians and anthropologists have argued that most political action in any given society occurs outside of its state, and that there are societies that are not organized into states which nevertheless must be considered politically.
		The early Christian philosophy of Augustine was by and large a rewrite of Plato in a Christian context.
		Through the 19th and early 20th centuries, political philosophy was dominated by debates about capitalism versus socialism, and religion versus science.

		This is the reason why death and political philosophy are intimately related as we recall in the trials of Socrates and Christ in which the state, with its power over life and death, seeks to use this power as an instrument of truth defined solely by the polity.
		Philosophy itself was the consideration of the whole, a whole that included the classics and even needed to consider the civilizations that do not claim to belong to the universal civilization.
		Political philosophy is particularly related to such questions because it finds itself necessarily involved in the condition of the nations, in poverty, freedom, war, exchange, with the worthy condition of mankind.

	Sample Chapter for Ober, J.: Athenian Legacies: Essays on the Politics of Going On Together.
		Political culture includes the values, structures, and practices of a community, along with the evolving social and political identities from which it is constituted.
		In modern political theory there is a tendency to emphasize two primary sites of tension: between the state and the individual as "rights-holder," and between the state and groups within it that lay claim to special rights or recognition (see chapter 4).
		At the heart of the tensions that defined Athenian political life, and thus the lives and moral-political psychologies of individual Athenians, was the contrast between an outwards-looking "centrifugal" push toward social diversity and an inwards-looking "centripetal" pull towards political coherence.

	Thomas Hobbes -- Moral and Politcal Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Machiavelli appears as the first modern political thinker, because like Hobbes he was no longer prepared to talk about politics in terms set by religious faith (indeed, he was still more offensive than Hobbes to many orthodox believers), instead, he looked upon politics as a secular discipline divorced from theology.
		He was known as a scientist (especially in optics), as a mathematician (especially in geometry), as a translator of the classics, as a writer on law, as a disputant in metaphysics and epistemology; not least, he became notorious for his writings and disputes on religious questions.
		Where political authority is lacking (as in his famous 'natural condition of mankind'), our fundamental right seems to be to save our skins, by whatever means we think fit.

	SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
		Political philosophy which emerges for the first time in Socrates/Plato presupposes that the political order is amenable to human art.
		Politics assumes the legitimacy of current institutions; political philosophy seeks to appraise institutions and practices in light of considerations which originate outside of political practice itself.
		Although the task of political philosophy is greatly complicated in a period of disintegration, the theories of Plato, Machiavelli, and Hobbes, for example, are evidence of a ‘challenge and response’ relationship between the disorder of the actual world and the role of the political philosopher as the encompasser of disorder.

	Sample Chapter for Allen, D.S.: The World of Prometheus: The Politics of Punishing in Democratic Athens.
		The jury is recognized as political precisely by asserting itself in opposition to the legislative power, but its affirmations of legislation are no less political.
		It is not only "political" concepts such as "justice," "fairness," "desert," and "law" that structure the realm of punishment and the system of value undergirding it.
		Like other phenomena a political phenomenon is a combination of institutions and culture and rests on an only intermittently stable conceptual system of value--a system by which dos and don'ts are established and particular social roles and places are assigned.

	Pols 411 Political Philosophy from Plato to the Present
		It also examines questions regarding human nature and "the good life." Political theories can be examined individually, but are probably of greater value when viewed together as a single discourse spanning the centuries, a discourse, moreover, that remains unfinished and invites students to participate on an equal footing.
		As this indicates, political philosophy is open to multiple interpretations.
		Finally, political philosophy is eminently applicable to the supremely confusing and profoundly troubled world around us.

	Ober, J.: Athenian Legacies: Essays on the Politics of Going On Together.
		Using classical Athens as its case study, this book argues that if a democratic community is to survive over time, its people must choose to go on together.
		He does not imagine the simplistic imposition of ancient political practices in the contemporary world, but shows in imaginative ways the profound theoretical concerns that emerge from a careful investigation of the conditions and practices of ancient Athens in particular.

	Allen, D.S.: The World of Prometheus: The Politics of Punishing in Democratic Athens.
		Re-creating in vivid detail the cultural context of this conversation, Allen shows that punishment gave the community an opportunity to establish a shining myth of harmony and cleanliness: that the city could be purified of anger and social struggle, and perfect order achieved.
		Allen draws upon oratory, tragedy, and philosophy to present the lively intellectual climate in which punishment was incurred, debated, and inflicted by Athenians.
		Danielle S. Allen is Associate Professor in Classical Languages and Literatures, Political Science, and the Committee on Social Thought and the College at the University of Chicago.

		First, as a relative of Plato's, he seems to have influenced young Plato; Plato later says in the Seventh Letter that he was initially attracted by Critias' invitation to the oligarchic government, but soon got disappointed on seeing their evil deeds (324B-325B).
		Sohrosyne is (unlike Aristotle's definition in the Ethics) a major political virtue along with justice, and the leading ideal for the Spartans and the oligarchs.
		Socrates cross-examines Critias' definitions and reveals his ignorance of what sohrosyne really is. In this way Plato demonstrates that, when Critias ruled the city in the names of justice and sohrosyne he was bound to fail, whereas the question of whether any knowledge of ruling the city is possible remains unanswered.

		We will address these questions and some ancillary questions by reading and writing about the works of some classic political philosophers, including (most likely) Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, J.S. Mill, and Rawls.
		The aforementioned questions will be asked and possible answers will be explored at a highly abstract level, with very little attention to concrete political issues that are currently debated in our society.
		And the purpose of the course will not be intellectual history, but rather to attempt to answer the relevant questions with the help of the writings of the named philosophers.
