Post 5: Political philosophy

Monday, May 9th

Last week you answered, "What is justice? How would you define justice in your own words? What would be examples of a just government? Of an unjust government?"

This week I want you to answer how one of the philosophers we have studied answered these questions. Your choices include: Hobbes, Locke, Rawls, Marx, Socrates and Thoreau. Write an explanation of how your philosopher would have answered the questions and then write your reaction to what you agree/disagree with in their vision of justice.
