The second semester of Contemporary Civilization is an introduction to modern moral and political philosophy, primarily in Europe and North America, and, much less comprehensively, in the colonies of North Africa and South Asia. We begin with Kant and Foucault's essays on "What is Enlightenment?" and then consider the modern world's most incisive champions and critics, asking whether political, economic, scientific, and artistic progress has made us more free, or rather, spread garlands of flowers over the iron chains that weigh us down. Our goal is not only to understand how a variety of influential authors have answered this question in the past, but also to develop skills in critical reading, textual interpretation, theoretical and empirical analysis, discussion, debate, and scholarly writing that will help us rigorously reflect on the meaning of justice in the present, and effectively explain our conclusions in the future.
