POL 408 - Special Topics in Political Theory
Fall 2016 - Chinese Political Thought: Ancient and Modern
Given China’s current prominence in global affairs, there has been a recent revival of interest in what China might teach us about the nature of political life. While many earlier interpreters regarded traditional Chinese political theories, most notably Confucianism, as an obstacle to economic and political modernization, some more recent political theorists have suggested that Chinese political thought offers a powerful alternative to modern Western thought. In this course, we will seek to examine these debates through the careful study of both the central Chinese texts (in translation) and contemporary works in the field.
In the first part of the course, we will examine the major schools of ancient Chinese political thought– Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, and Mohism. We will consider the ways in which each one responds to questions such as the following: what is the best way of life for human beings? How does can particular policies or approaches to government help or hinder human wellbeing? What forms of education support a flourishing community? What is the place of the family in political life? In the second part of the course, we will bring these theories, particularly Confucianism, into dialogue with contemporary Western political thought. Here we will discuss, for example, the ways in which concepts such as democracy and human rights might be understood within a Confucian framework.

Neuropsychology is most simply defined as the study of brain-behavior relationships and provides the perfect intersection of neuroscience and psychology. Over the past century, neuropsychology has emerged as an important sub-discipline of psychology for the purposes of identifying organic brain syndromes and informing rehabilitation and treatment planning. Previously used as a primary method of localizing brain function, the field has grown in conjunction with advances in neuro-imaging, pathology, and neuroscience. The purpose of this course will be to provide a foundational understanding of human neuropsychology, including the most commonly studied neurobehavioral relationships and conditions. Students will have the opportunity to review neuropsychological test data, relate patterns in data to brain structure and function, and estimate recovery and rehabilitation patterns.
