【Aims】
This course gives you an opportunity to learn how to analyse normative aspects of public policy. This year’s course, for this purpose, sets a text in the area of education policy: Geoffrey Hinchliffe’s Liberty and Education: A Civic Republican Approach. This book is unique in that it argues education from a civic republican perspective but interestingly does not take a virtue approach unlike other philosophers such as Andrew Peterson. As a part of this course, students also have a chance to make a presentation in front of the author in early January 2017, which should enable you to engage in a philosophical discussion in a professional manner.
Note that I offer 4 courses in 4 semesters (2 years). They are currently provided under the same course title of ‘Political Theory of Welfare State’ (To be renamed from Fall 2017).
(A) Introduction to Political Studies (Fall 2017)
(B) Policy Making (Spring 2018)
(C) Public Philosophy (Fall 2016)
(D) Japanese Politics (Spring 2017)
Therefore, if you missed any course above, you would not be able to take the same course in the next academic year.
【Objectives】
Students are, through this course, expected:
• To understand complexity of the concepts and debates in relation to public philosophy, particularly to education policy.
• To be able to critically examine the major debates in public philosophy, particularly in civic republicanism and the concept of liberty.
• To make a clear presentation and write an academic essay on topics relevant to public philosophy.
