Faculty Profile for Professor Kraynak
What is a just society? What is the best form of government? How should we live as individuals and citizens of a political community? These questions lie at the foundations of political thought and have been debated since the time of the ancient Greeks to modern America. Students examine and discuss the works of Aristotle, Aquinas, Locke, the American founders, Rousseau, and Nietzsche for their answers to these enduring and challenging questions. Students who successfully complete this seminar will receive credit for POSC 260 and satisfy one half of the Social Relations, Institutions, and Agents area of inquiry requirement.
Professor Robert Kraynak teaches political science with special interests in classical political philosophy, religion and politics, and the political theory of the American founding.
