This course is intended as an introduction to political philosophy as seen through an examination of some of the major texts and thinkers of the Western political tradition. Three broad themes that are central to understanding political life are focused upon: the polis experience (Plato, Aristotle), the sovereign state (Machiavelli, Hobbes), constitutional government (Locke), and democracy (Rousseau, Tocqueville). The way in which different political philosophies have given expression to various forms of political institutions and our ways of life are examined throughout the course.

埃里克·甘迪尼的纪录片《电视政治》Erik Gandini, “Videocracy” 　　自从20世纪50年代显像管电视机风靡以来，电视机就被指责为降低美国公众智力的罪魁祸首。但在意大利，饱受丑闻困扰的西尔维奥·贝鲁斯科尼总理通过他对其所在国家最大传媒集团的垄断，控制着信息的传播。他通过媒体持续炮轰意大利广播电视公司（RAI），并在自家的Mediaset传媒集团的频道上大量播放肮脏的黄色节目，背后均有其更深层的原因。如果你想了解一位亿万富翁企业家的电视王国是如何改变了整个意大利的政治和大众传媒版图的，埃里克·甘迪尼精心构思的纪录片《电视政治》可以给你很多启发，让你对贝鲁斯科尼现象有一个深入的思考。这位出生在意大利、现居住在瑞典的导演（曾执导《关塔那摩：战争新规则》）并没有选择趟进唇枪舌战的文化冲突的浑水，而是采用了更讨巧的第一人称视角。 　　外滩美术馆北欧纪录片电影节。意大利真是一个奇葩的国度……这纪录片比故事片还好看啊。（www.kan84.net/bdhd/btVideocracy.html）

Entretien entre Georges Canguilhem, Michel Foucault, Jean Hyppolite, Paul Ricœur, avec Alain Badiou et Dina Dreyfus. 　　C’est à l’occasion de l’émission Philosophie et vérité, colloque réunissant cinq philosophes autour de Dina Dreyfus, que les propositions de mise en image ont été les plus abouties. D’une durée plus importante que les autres, presque une heure, et avec un budget plus conséquent, cette émission a permis à Jean Fléchet de mêler échanges en studio et tournage en extérieur. 　　C’est la volonté de proposer une image et des échanges plus spontanés, loin d’une simple table ronde, qui a été développée. Et même si la technique n’a pu totalement se faire oublier, l’exercice a permis la mise en forme d’un débat philosophique plus vivant, plus ancré dans l’instant présent. Georges Canguilhem et Jean Hyppolite, initiant les discussions à l’arrière d’un taxi pour se rendre au rendez-vous, Michel Foucault quittant la discussion pour aller à une conférence…

An exploration of wisdom in the heart of America's most prestigious universities. Wisdom is found in the most unlikely places.

A high school senior comes to visit Port Chester (aka Politically Correct U) for the weekend, and the admissions department mistakenly sets him up to stay with Droz (Jeremy Piven), a seven year student and party-animal who lives in The Pit, the most offensive house on campus. After trying to pawn the pre-freshman off on his housemate (Jon Favreau), Droz sets off on his normal daily activities including disrupting a political protest by throwing meat at a group of vegan protesters. The President of the University then receives a number of complaints, and with the help of her lackey (superbly portrayed by David Spade), she may finally have the power to kick Droz's house off campus. But the Pit throws an all-campus rager where George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic performs, and everything might turn out alright if the various political groups can forget their protests for one night and just have fun together.
