Political philosophy is the study of such topics as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever. In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics that does not necessarily belong to the technical discipline of philosophy.
Political philosophy can also be understood by analysing it through the perspectives of metaphysics, epistemology and axiology. It provides insight into, among other things, the various aspects of the origin of the state, its institutions and laws.
Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self, figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Hume, Rousseau and Kant. Locke was the first to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He postulated that the mind was a blank slate or tabula rasa. Contrary to pre-existing Cartesian philosophy, he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from senseperception.
Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)
Professor Smith discusses the nature and scope of "political philosophy." The oldest of the social sciences, the study of political philosophy must begin with the works of Plato and Aristotle, and examine in depth the fundamental concepts and categories of the study of politics. The questions "which regimes are best?" and "what constitutes good citizenship?" are posed and discussed in the context of Plato's Apology.

Augustus Sol Invictus, "Imperium as Political Philosophy"
There are two main ways of viewing the world: *sub specie aeternitatis* and *in tempore*. From the former perspective, one sees things outside of time; one is above the petty happenings of the world. In adopting this view, life becomes more serene, events more inconsequential, patterns ever more evident. Yet this makes life itself something entirely *other*, something to keep at arm's length, something for study and contemplation. When, on the other hand, one embraces life *in tempore*, one throws oneself into the fray, and life becomes real again. But then life is fragmented and disjointed; it can become meaningless and frivolous.

13:00 - Compare/Contrast with Graphic Organizer
Mr. Richey discusses the works of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, two of the most influential philosophers of government in the seventeenth century. Hobbes and Locke were both influential in the development of social contract theory. In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes advances the idea of a permanent social contract in which people give up sovereignty to a governing authority in order to avoid the state of nature, which is a state of war with "every man against every man." After the Glorious Revolution, John Locke responded with his Two Treatises of Government, in which he argued that people enter into a social contract and form a government in order to preserve their natural rights (life, liberty, and property). In Locke's social contract, the people retain sovereignty and reserve the right to alter or abolish the social contract if the government fails to protect their natural rights. I spend the first part of the lecture providing a summary of Hobbes' Leviathan, followed by a summary of Locke, then I use a graphic organizer to compare and contrast Hobbes' and Locke's social contract philosophies, noting key similarities and differences between the two theorists.
Mastodon's Leviathan album is brought in from time to time just because it's awesome.
This lecture is designed specifically for AP European History students studying Absolutism and Constitutionalism in preparation for their exam, but can also serve students in other disciplines, such as US History and Government, as well.
I use a picture in this video (Green Nature) that should be attributed to Rudolf Getel. I neglected to do so in the video, so I am doing so here.

In the Gorgias, Socrates claims to practice the true art of politics, but the peculiar politics he practices involves cultivating in each individual he encounters an erotic desire to live a life animated by the ideals of justice, beauty and the good. Socratic and Platonic Political Philosophy demonstrates that what Socrates sought to do with those he encountered, Platonic writing attempts to do with readers. Christopher P. Long's attentive readings of the Protagoras, Gorgias, Phaedo, Apology, and Phaedrus invite us to cultivate the habits of thinking and responding that mark the practices of both Socratic and Platonic politics. Platonic political writing is here experienced in a new way as the contours of a politics of reading emerges in which the community of readers is called to consider how a commitment to speaking the truth and acting toward justice can enrich our lives together.

Platonic political writing is here experienced in a new way as the contours of a politics of reading emerges in which the community of readers is called to consider how a commitment to speaking the truth and acting toward justice can enrich our lives together.
Machiavelli's name is a byword for immorality and political scheming. But that's deeply unfair. This was simply a political theorist interested in the survival and flourishing of the state. Please help us to make films by subscribing here: http://tinyurl.com/o28mut7

Augustus Sol Invictus, "Imperium as Political Philosophy"
There are two main ways of viewing the world: *sub specie aeternitatis* and *in tempore*. From the former perspective, one sees things outside of time; one is above the petty happenings of the world. In adopting this view, life becomes more serene, events more inconsequential, patterns ever more evident. Yet this makes life itself something entirely *other*, something to keep at arm's length, something for study and contemplation. When, on the other hand, one embraces life *in tempore*, one throws oneself into the fray, and life becomes real again. But then life is fragmented and disjointed; it can become meaningless and frivolous.
Thus these two perspectives have their boons and their pitfalls. The academicians among us prefer the long view of history, if not the entirely ahistorical, while the politicians and socialites prefer to live in the world rather than apart from it. There are very few of us who internally synthesize these two very different perspectives. We see life as a confluence of the eternal and the temporal. We see the temporal as being the living water issuing forth from the well of eternity. The mystery of life is to us the synthesis of being and becoming.
In acknowledging the temporal, one acknowledges the necessity of the political, for life itself necessitates the political. In acknowledging the eternal, however, one recognizes that the political realm is ever-shifting and inconstant, and that reasons and promises are but smoke and mirrors in a vie for power. Underlying all political action - elections, revolutions, protests, boycotts, speeches, rallies, book burnings - is a blind force, one that cannot be expressed in words. Our reasons are but epiphenomena of our actions, which are effected only by our prejudices and our individual natures, not by any sort of objective truth. The thought that liberals or conservatives or communists or fascists are "right" in some objective sense on this or that fleeting issue is downright laughable.
Throughout history, in all climes and locations, a natural order has prevailed, though with certain remarkable aberrations, such as our own day and age. With Nature, reason counts for little or nothing: 'the strong do what they can, while the weak suffer what they must.' In Nature, the shrub does not pretend to be an oak; yet in America, the oak and shrub daily wish to switch places. The most ignorant and pathetic of us wish their voices to be heard, no matter the cost. They want 'rights,' some amorphous collection of phantasmagorical weapons to be wielded against the powerful in the name of 'humanity.' And the powerful bend over backwards to see who can fastest become the commoner. Those powerful who do not act thusly abdicate not their power but their sense of social responsibility, such that their status is taken for granted, and they believe that the rest of the world can go straight to Hell as long as they get to keep their money.
In attempting to name the nameless, I have named it Imperium. The word *imperium* is a Latin one translating variously as 'command,' 'power,' or 'dominion.' This word seems to capture that blind drive behind all false reason and pretenses to justice. It also defies every holy truth of Democratic Liberalism: inherent egalitarianism, irresponsible individualism, mindless consumerism, et cetera. In evoking the word *imperium* I mean to denominate a political philosophy that recognizes the necessity of hierarchy in human society; the right of the powerful to govern the weak; the responsibility of the powerful to protect and support the weak; the primacy of the individual over the herd; the supremacy of the creative essence over mundane existence.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)
Professor Smith discusses the nature and scope of "political philosophy." The oldest of the social sciences, the study of political philosophy must begin with the works of Plato and Aristotle, and examine in depth the fundamental concepts and categories of the study of politics. The questions "which regimes are best?" and "what constitutes good citizenship?" are posed and discussed in the context of Plato's Apology.

13:00 - Compare/Contrast with Graphic Organizer
Mr. Richey discusses the works of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, two of the most influential philosophers of government in the seventeenth century. Hobbes and Locke were both influential in the development of social contract theory. In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes advances the idea of a permanent social contract in which people give up sovereignty to a governing authority in order to avoid the state of nature, which is a state of war with "every man against every man." After the Glorious Revolution, John Locke responded with his Two Treatises of Government, in which he argued that people enter into a social contract and form a government in order to preserve their natural rights (life, liberty, and property). In Locke's social contract, the people retain sovereignty and reserve the right to alter or abolish the social contract if the government fails to protect their natural rights. I spend the first part of the lecture providing a summary of Hobbes' Leviathan, followed by a summary of Locke, then I use a graphic organizer to compare and contrast Hobbes' and Locke's social contract philosophies, noting key similarities and differences between the two theorists.
Mastodon's Leviathan album is brought in from time to time just because it's awesome.
This lecture is designed specifically for AP European History students studying Absolutism and Constitutionalism in preparation for their exam, but can also serve students in other disciplines, such as US History and Government, as well.
