Freedom’s Foundations II (GOV223)


Catalog Description
Freedom's Foundations II is the second of a two-course sequence that, as two of the college's distinctive, flagship courses, is required of all Patrick Henry College students. Freedom's Foundations II traces the development of the concept of freedom from its roots in the ancient world to its culmination in our contemporary world. Along the way, we also consider ideas and institutions that both support and undermine traditionally established liberties. In Freedom's Foundation II, we will examine the chief rivals to the American concept of liberty including those emerging from the French Revolution and later from postmodern political theories. We will also consider the implications of the contemporary American culture war and weigh the prospects for American liberty in the future.
