HON 225 Justice

Prerequisite: HON 205. While most agree that a healthy society should be based on justice, there has been little agreement as to what justice is. In this course, we will search for an adequate definition-considering biblical and theological resources as well as philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, and Rawls-while looking closely at attempts to bring justice in particular communities and situations, both historical and contemporary. This course incorporates service-learning work and reflection upon it. This course satisfies the General Core Social Science/Humanities requirement and, in light of the historical conflicts over justice, satisfies HIS 102.
