Optional subject that is part of the "Contemporary Culture" Mention of the Humanities Degree. The main goal is to analyse the political theory from the classical world to the present, showing a specific interest for canonical works related to the organization of the society and the development of the state. The analysis will be particularly sensitive to the contemporary use of certain authors, theories and classical political concepts.
1. The history of political thought. Historiography.
2. The classic origins of politics.
3. The political power of the Pope and the emperor during the Middle Ages. Scholasticism.
4. The foundations of the modern state.
5. The reason of state: Machiavelli, Machiavellism and anti-Machiavelli.
6. The state and God. The political conceptions of the Reformation.
7. The theory of "just war" between states and the controversy over the occupation of America. Francisco Vitoria and the School of Salamanca.
8. The utopia. The utopias of the Renaissance.
9. The contractualist doctrines and the theory of absolutism. From Jean Bodin to Thomas Hobbes.
10. The political practice of the "valimiento" and the divine right of the kings.
11. English parliamentarism: Locke.
12. The political philosophy of the French “Lumières” (Enlightenment): Voltaire, Montesquieu and Rousseau.
13. The political thinking of the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
14. Modern political and social thought: Marxism and anarchism.
15. Modern and Contemporary political and economic thought: liberalism.
16. Nationalism.
17. The political and social proposals of the present world: democracy, feminism, ecology and globalization.
The student will have to carry out a continuous work throughout the course. Attendance to lectures will be used to contextualise the readings of the authors of the period and the proposed newspaper articles. As a general rule, the projects will be exposed in seminar sessions. Journal articles will be evaluated through the virtual forum. A homework research will be developed.
