The course is conceived as an interpretation of basic political-philosophical positions from antiquity to the present. The lectures should introduce students to the major figures in the history of political thought and show that their theories are not merely historically contingent concepts but attempts to solve political problems still relevant today. The course will be divided into two parts, the mostly-lecture part in Early Modern philosophy (Wednesdays) and the seminar part in the 19th century philosophy (Friday). **** Lectures in Early Modern political philosophy: Familiarising with the key figures and ideas in political thought, ranging from the Renaissance thinkers to (roughly) the Enlightenment and its immediate aftermath. Zoom link for the lectures: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83877986460?pwd=SihaG8x9sZ2GM3iXBDldq7b0l0hiT8.1 Seminar: The seminar will be devoted to close reading of the first part of the first volume of Marx's Capital.

EXAM EARLY MODERN PART: The final grade (expressed numerically) will consist of two weighed parts: - preparation and participation in discussions: 20% - written essay at the end of the course: 80%. Since participation is part of the final mark, a maximum of 3 absences is allowed. In case of absence, please inform the instructor in advance. For their final essay students will choose an essay topic that suits them best. The topics will be directly related to the course readings and discussions and approved by the teacher. A mid-term essay will have to be submitted on November 30th. This mid-term essay will not be part of the final grade, but is a good way to practice for writing the final essay. The deadline for submitting the final essay (2000-5000 words) will be set based on the agreement between the teacher and the students during the final classes. SEMINAR: 1) Regular attendance - Every non-attendance has to be excused based on relevant grounds. 2) Presentation analysing the seminar reading. Presentation is ca. 20 minutes long and includes: a) formulation of the hypothesis being proved in the text b) analysis of the structure of the argument c) explanation of difficult concepts d) questions for discussion. Students can get up to 5 points for presentation. 3) Reading summary, 1 or 2 standard pages. Reading summaries are submitted via email no later than the day before the seminar. One point is gained for every summary. AI generated summary equals loss of five points (summaries are randomly tested with AI detection device). 4) Activity during a seminar. Students can gain an additional point for activity during the seminar. Assessment scale: 27-20: pass Less than 20: didn't pass
