Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this UE, the student will be able to produce an informed and rigorous philosophical reflection on social and political stakes. This implies that it will in particular be able to:
- Master the main theories and fundamental concepts of social and political philosophy;
- To build a problem based on the different currents, oppositions and controversies that cross the field of social and political philosophy;
- Develop a critical reflection on current political and social issues;
- Research and identify bibliographic resources, references and concepts of social and political philosophy in relation to the issues addressed.
Content of UE
The question of democracy will serve as a guideline for the course. It will be necessary to examine the problems, which are inseparable from the question of democracy, mentioned in the references to the final competencies of the Philosophy and Citizenship course, such as those of power and counter-powers, justice, laws and norms or the relationship between man and his environment (natural, cultural and social). Part One: History of Social and Political Philosophy The first part of the course will consist in presenting the systems of thought of the main currents and authors of social and political philosophy (eg Plato, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Foucault, Deleuze, etc.). Without ever leaving aside the historical and cultural contexts in which these theories and concepts are emerging, they will nevertheless be studied as so many ways of thinking about current events, that is to say as so many deviations / criticisms of the perceived / dominant presentation of contemporary political issues. Part Two: Problems of Social and Political Philosophy The second part of the course will consist of the presentation of philosophical problems (eg, what is democracy, what is a social environment, etc.) or major controversies that have animated the the political and social philosophy (for example, the controversy over the status of social identities between Pierre Bourdieu and Jacques Rancière, the controversy initiated by Alain Badiou on the relations between democracy and capitalism, etc.) in relation to the themes developed in the benchmark for the Philosophy and Citizenship course. The aim here is not to decide for one point or another but to highlight the specificity, coherence and intelligence of each approach.
