Agendas, Arguments, and Political Theory
If teaching is not the oldest profession, it certainly has a long historical pedigree. The frustrations teaching evokes likely have an equally long pedigree. One sees in Plato's Republic, for example, Socrates' frustration in trying to convey to Glaukon the aims of the educational scheme he is presenting to his interlocutors in Book 8. His evident difficulties relaying this information have doubtless struck sympathetic chords in the breasts of co…
Liberty, Rights, and Will in Hobbes
David Van Mill recently argued in this journal that Hobbes's theory of freedom in Leviathan is fundamentally confused. Van Mill finds that this confusion arises from the supposed inconsistency between Hobbes's initial account of liberty as “the absence of external impediments” in Chapter 14 and subsequent uses of the term in contexts where he must necessarily have held a different concept. (This occurs most notably in Chapter 21, where he discuss…
Political Correctness and Political Science
The term political correctness identifies a controversy that has gained wide coverage in the press over the last several years concerning academic policy in higher education in the United States.

Plato's claim in the Republic that in the ideal city philosophers would be compelled to rule has led some students of his work to think that he was either incompetent or insincere. Professor Harman argues here that one need not come to such a conclusion. Viewing the Republic as a tragedy, he says, we see Plato's position as an intelligible, consistent, and telling insight concerning the limits on genuine political leadership. It also provides add…
Investigating the Normative Aspects of Public Policy
This article challenges the idea that political philosophy must be of peripheral concern in the study of public policy through an exploration of the concept of harm and the debate over aggressive police patrol. This exploration begins with a brief discussion of the ways the concept of harm figures in the justification and administration of police work. It proceeds through an exposition of differing ways the concept of harm can be defined, the nor…
