Liberalism

Professor Kozlowski continues his idiotic life choices by reading and critiquing the neo-liberal political philosophy discussion surrounding John Rawls' A Theory of Justice. We'll talk about what Liberalism is, its dominance in the discussion of political philosophy, and its assumptions and blind spots - as well as just getting very frustrated by Nozick's particular brand of Libertarianism. Our readings today come from: FDR's State of the Union addresses in 1941 and 1944 Rawls' A Theory of Justice Nozick's Anarchy, State, Utopia Walzer's "A Defense of Equality" And additional readings include: Friedman's The World is Flat Hayek's The Road to Serfdom Caro's The Power Broker Graeber's Bullshit Jobs Huxley's Brave New World Gibson's Neuromancer Wallace's The Pale King The Big Short (2015) Sid Meier's Civilization Fate of the World Umurangi Generation If you selfishly and freely wish to meditate on Professor Kozlowski's other individualistic contributions to society, thus patronizing his websites and encouraging more of the same, consider visiting his website: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/
