Hello All:
Well, our discussion of Diderot was excellent--thank you to all who came and contributed to a great, dynamic interdisciplinary discussion!
For next week (based upon requests & your votes on the poll to the right of this blog), we're going to discuss selections from Locke and Rousseau--two major hitters for social contract theory. I have posted links to the following works (just click on the titles)--if you'd prefer a .pdf from a non-online edition, please contact me (Rachel) through the blog site or via e-mail and I can send some your way. However I've checked these against my scholarly editions, and they check out! We'll be reading two major/central texts for discussion--I've included others for those who want to take on a heavier load!
Two Central Texts for Discussion:
Locke, Second Treatise of Government
Rousseau, The Social Contract
Peripheral Texts for Discussion:
Locke, First Treatise of Government
Rousseau, A Discourse on the Origin of Inequality
Rousseau, Reveries of the Solitary Walker
We will be meeting same time/place: Wednesday, February 20th @ the Pour House (on Kirkwood Ave) from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.
Please invite people from across time periods, specialties, and departments: the more interdisciplinary the group, the more dynamic the conversation!
