Course Description

The course approaches the relations of State and Society through MichaelWalzer’s concept of “spheres of justice” and the distinct principles of distribution of social goods that regulate the spheres of membership, office, welfare, market, religion, education, family, political power. Within this conceptual framework the course strives to elucidate the historical phenomenon of the modern State and the concomitant process of the emergence of an autonomous “Civil Society”.
