6 6 2nd TERM SYLLABUS * indicates available in xerox from the professor. Note of explanation to second term outline. The book around which I had originally designed much of the second term (Essential works of Mill) is out of print. I have found an excellent substitute, however, a new collection edited by Jene M. Porter which has Mill and much more. In fact, had the book been available in September, I would have used it as a text for the entire year. (For those looking for readings on Aquinas and St. Augustine on which I lectured but had no text, you will find good selections here). It is, however, quite a bit more expensive than the book it replaces. To justify the extra expense involved, I have changed the outline a bit. We begin with a quick return to Hobbes and Locke, a step back in time from the end of the first term which ended with Rousseau and Hegel. But there are excellent selections from Hobbes and Locke in the Porter collection and it will make the pain of the purchase a little more bearable if substantial portions of the readings are from the book. I. Hobbes and Locke Week 13, Jan. 7 and 10 Jan. 7 Lecture: Introduction to the Second Term Jan. 10 Lecture: State and society in the Leviathan Reading: Thomas Hobbes, selections from the Leviathan Porter, pp Week 14, Jan. 14 and 17 Jan. 14 Lecture: State and Society in the writings of John Locke Jan. 17 Seminar 1: Compare and contrast the views on state and society in the writings of Hobbes and Locke.

Marx and Marxism Week 15, Jan. 21 and 24 Jan. 21 Lecture: Alienation and exploitation: the industrial revolution and the development of Marx's political thought Jan. 24 Seminar 2: Outline the views of the young Marx on alienation as developed in the "Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844". Are these views Marx abandoned in his more developed works? Reading: Callinicos, The Revolutionary Ideas of Marx, pp. 7-64; Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, selections in Porter, pp ; (Historical and social context: E.J. Hobsbawm, Industry and Empire, pp ). Week 16, Jan. 28 and 31 Jan. 28 Lecture: From Marx to Engels Jan. 31 Seminar 3: Has history ended (as maintained by Fukayama and others)? Discuss with reference to Marx's ideas on the role of classes and class struggle in historical development.
