RUTGERS–NEW BRUNSWICK

Legal Philosophy, Rights, and Justice
Department of Political Science, School of Arts and Sciences

This course analyzes three central concepts of a liberal, democratic government: law, rights, and justice. The importance of these concepts becomes obvious when we consider how frequently these terms arise in discussions of politics: public policy is formulated in “laws,” people speak of what they feel they deserve in terms of “rights,” and social movements are built around fundamental claims of “justice.” Contact the Department of Political Science for updated course information.
