Description

Analyze the work of a theorist (from Hobbes and on) that we have read in terms of his/her approach to liberty. “Liberty” is a large topic, so it is important to structure your analysis with some
fundamental questions: Does the theorist view liberty as fundamental to what it means to be human? Why or why not? Does the theorist view liberty as fundamental to the (good or bad) functioning of
the state? Why or why not? Is liberty / should liberty be integral the arrangements of power? Has this theorist’s approach to liberty fundamentally influenced the way we view liberty in the 21st
century? Alternatively, is there a fundamental part of our understanding of liberty of which this theorist has not taken account? Why/why not?
