PO 936 On Classical Philosophy (Fall: 3) A study of Platos Timaeus and Critias. Christopher Bruell PO 962 Kant (Spring: 3) A careful reading of one or more of Kants seminal texts. Susan Shell PO 984 Hobbes and Thucydides on War and Peace (Spring: 3) An examination of Thucydides account of war and politics, after an introductory comparison with Hobbes-style realism. Robert K. Faulkner PO 985 Rome: From City to Empire (Fall: 3) In Rome as well as in Athens, class-war furnished the energy for the growth of the city and regime. But the two cities had very different political developments: extreme democratization in Athens, extreme extension in Rome. We will try to illuminate these diverging paths with the help of ancient and modern historians and philosophers. It will be a study in the interplay of political forms and political regimes.
