Political Thought [Presentation Thursdays]

Learning about the ideas of the great philosophers was what I always wanted to get out of college, so I felt it was a privilege to be asked to take on a course on Political Thought as part of my teaching load some years back. I figured that, either way, I'd get a chance to read material I might have missed as a student. And I was right.

So here's the introductory slide deck from that course:

It so happens that the above slides are the first ones I ever put together in my time as a teacher. Although I was an alumnus, the University that welcomed me to teach required a teaching demonstration for good order. So this was the presentation I prepared for the purpose (well, subsequent "improvements" notwithstanding).
