1 Professor: Daniel Levin Office: OSH 210D Phone: daniel.levin[at]utah.edu Office Hours: Wed: am Tues: 2-3 pm Thur: 10:45-11:45am or by appointment Political Science 6025: American Political Thought Spring 2015, Wed 2-5 pm, OSH 208 This course will survey the history of political and social thought in the United States from the arrival of English speaking peoples until the present day through an exploration of writings, speeches, and letters. But like any survey of such an extensive period that encompasses such diverse literatures and possibilities, this course has been constructed from conscious choices in terms of what to include and exclude. For this semester, I have placed foremost the question of how the American political tradition has made its piece with American economic history. While the most persistent American economic system has been capitalism, we will take pains to note the other systems which were present in early America, mercantilism and slavery, and we will be especially careful to denote how changes in the forms of American capitalism manifest themselves in American political arguments. We will also read authors who are often read for other purposes (say, Thoreau on nature and Betty Friedan on feminism) in terms of their encounter with capitalism and mass society. This course is also notable for what it leaves out or treats too minimally: race, gender, religion, immigration, the Civil War and Reconstruction, federalism, Imperialism, and foreign relations. These are conscious choices made because of the lack of time to achieve all goals and to shape a coherent narrative that reaches from the Founding to the present. No one regrets the neglect of these issues more than myself. Assigned Books: The primary text for our discussions is Isaac Kramnick and Theodore J. Lowi, American Political Thought: A Norton Anthology, W.W. Norton, 2008 (ISBN: ). All readings not otherwise indicated may be found in that text. There are four additional required texts: Daniel Bell, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (Basic Books, ISBN: ); Benjamin Franklin, Autobiography (Dover Thrift, ISBN: ); Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman (Penguin, ISBN: ); Henry David Thoreau, Walden and Civil Disobedience (Signet Classics, ISBN: ); and Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, trans. by Harvey C. Mansfield and Delba Winthrop (University of Chicago Press, ISBN: ). Additional readings will be found in Canvas. Course Requirements: The format of this course will require a great deal of reading and participation in classroom discussion. There will also be four short (approx. 5 page) required papers. The central assignment for this writing intensive course is a research paper of approx. 20 pages. By Feb. 11, you must submit an executive summary, which will contain no more than two paragraphs describing your intended subject and including your thesis along with a preliminary bibliography. I must approve your proposal before you proceed. Instructions for the research paper are on Canvas. Student participation in class discussion will be a large portion of your final grade, and attendance is necessary. I expect that you will complete ALL of the assigned reading BEFORE the class for which it was assigned and reserve the right to call on anyone at anytime. Participation Date Assigned Date Due 20% First Essay January 28 February 6 by noon 10% Second Essay February 25 March 4 by noon 10% Third Essay April 1 April 10 by noon 10% Final Essay April 22 May 1 by 5 pm 10% Research Paper Jan. 14 April 22 (exec summary by 2/11) 40%
2 Electronic Devices: The use of laptop computers, tablets, and cellphones during class is strictly prohibited. For an explanation of this policy, please see here. Academic Misconduct: All quotes must be cited as such and include a clear reference to the work from which they were drawn; they will otherwise be treated as plagiarism. All use of materials other than course materials must be accompanied by full citations. All work in this course is assigned as individual work; working as groups or teams is strongly discouraged (and may be treated as cheating), as is all but the most casual assistance from others; this includes spouses and other family members. If you intend to submit a paper which significantly draws upon work for another class, you must first receive explicit permission to do so from both myself and the other instructor. Any form of academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the course and other disciplinary action, up to expulsion from the University. Please note that you should keep a copy of your work. When working on a computer, always make a back-up; computer malfunction is not an excuse. Accommodation of Sincerely Held Beliefs: I will work with students who require schedule changes due to religious or other significant obligations. I will not consider requests based on course content. Because the history of American politics has included many debates over race, sexuality, religious practice and belief, and political ideology, any class that did not address such issues would be substantially limited. Students are required to attend all classes and to read all assignments. All assignments and lectures are related to our subject matter, and I do not include gratuitously salacious material. If you have any objection to the frank and open discussion of any of the topics above, including the use of adult language when appropriate to subject matter, please drop the class. Policy on Late Papers, Unsubmitted Work and Incompletes: Papers will be accepted until 5 pm on the date due. Late papers will lose one stepped grade (i.e. B+ B) if submitted within a week of date due; papers will not be accepted after a week. Failure to complete any assignment will result in failure of the course. A grade of Incomplete is only available in cases of documented emergency or medical condition. Papers must be submitted both in hard copy and through Canvas. To encourage multiple drafts and proper proofreading, all submissions must have a marked, edited print version of an earlier draft stapled to the final draft. Americans with Disabilities Act Notice: Persons with disabilities requiring special accommodations to meet the expectations of this course should provide reasonable prior notice to the instructor and to the Center for Disability Services, 162 Olpin Union Building, (V/TDD) to make arrangements. Written material in this course can be made available in alternative format with prior notification.
