The “close reading” of political, philosophical and sociological texts demands a special, disciplined methodology. We are going to concentrate on fragments that we deem crucial in order to teach students how to extract fundamental sense of these notions and extrapolate them to be used in a modern context.
The class will have a somewhat rigid structure of a short historical introduction, followed by analysing together chosen quotations and concluding with a general discussion on the broader sense of a given text.
