THE BIG QUESTIONS
This course traces the shifting meaning of manliness over the history of political philosophy, to help us understand today's crisis and the range of possible solutions.
Who is a real man?
What makes a man good?
Is man Will to Power?
Should a man be only a man of action or also a man who can give an account of himself?
Is manliness something to be overcome or something to restore?
Premodern, modern, and postmodern perspectives show you the big picture.
