Notes

Over the past decades the reliance on markets has expanded to a host of new spheres, including climate change, education and social security. Likewise, the idea of the commons has reappeared in debates about biodiversity, human knowledge and urban transportation. The course examines economic and political justifications and implications of using either markets or the commons for solving social problems.

  2. To analyze, differentiate and evaluate conceptual, empirical, and normative arguments about the commons and the market in modern societies.
  3. How to convincingly argue for one’s own position regarding the importance of the commons and the market in modern societies.
  4. To understand and reconstruct scholarly texts in philosophy, political theory and economic theory.
  5. How the three disciplines of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics differ and interact in their approaches to political economy.
