Philosophy of Public Policy

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

People seem to disagree starkly about which problems we collectively face and how we should solve them. We will consider some of these issues, such as immigration, inflation, and education, and we will do our best to determine what, if anything, we should do about them. We will focus on the contemporary US, but the discussion may have international ramifications. The aim of the course is to help students make up their own minds about these topics, and to understand why others might disagree.
