Welcome to PT-Block 7

Greetings Thinkers!

I am so looking forward to starting our work. I hope that you will find that Political Theory is a course that will challenge the way that you think about...everything. Everything from human nature to how and why societies organize themselves. This blog will be a tool where we can share our reactions to the readings prior to dissecting them in class.

I am certain that this will be a different type of experience than the other courses you have taken in your earlier years in the History Department; you will, hopefully, gain an appreciation for some of the great thinkers of the Western world; and, we will surely have some fun along the way.

Again, welcome and I am looking forward to a a great year for each of you.
Mrs. Branigan
