This is a graduate seminar that treats the basic vocabulary of politics — democracy, justice, power, rights, state, representation and the like — as objects of sustained reflection rather than terms to be defined and moved past. Most of the work is reading dense primary texts on each concept and arguing through them in discussion, with two midterms and a final anchoring the assessment. The payoff is conceptual: by tracing where these words came from and how their meanings shifted, you build the kind of historical-analytical grip that makes contemporary political debates legible instead of just noisy.
