Through a close examination of seminal texts from philosophers and theorists such as Hobbes, Plato, Rousseau, Benjamin, Arendt, and Latour, the course explores fundamental questions of governance, revolution, the nature of politics, and the role of myth and theology in political thought. It also incorporates analysis of contemporary media and film to provide diverse perspectives on these enduring themes. The course is designed for postgraduate students and is delivered over the Autumn and Spring terms. It involves seminars and culminates in a final examination. Due to its limited places and high demand, early application is encouraged.
