In the Philosophy, Politics and Economics Colloquium course, a particular issue or theme in political economy (such as rights, taxation, globalization, etc.) will be selected for intensive investigation from multiple perspectives: normative, empirical, formal, and interpretive. The course will be primarily discussion-driven, and the discussion will stress the integration of these perspectives and how each affects the questions, conceptual frameworks, and methodological choices of the others. Students will undertake short writing exercises and oral presentations, and write a research paper.
