The Good Society

This course will focus on the historical construction of the concept of the "good society" in Western culture. Although the term did not enter our literature until Graham Wallas published The Good Society in 1915, we can clearly distinguish its origins in the religious, political, and intellectual traditions of Europe and the United States.  Affiliated with the Center for Inter-Community Experience.

Fulfills the General Education co-requirement in Human Diversity.
