Learning outcomes

Compared to the liberal non-interference, nondomination is a more robust ideal of liberty. It requires not only that multiple "doors" of opportunities are open but also that there is no "doorman" with an arbitrary power to close one or any of the doors. As such, nondomination is a concept useful not only in the contemporary debates about democracy in the age of multinational corporations, but also in framing other power-based relations: such as in a workplace or among men and women. The seminary focuses on the works of the most important contemporary figures in the so-called neo-Roman republican tradition: Quentin Skinner, the historian of ideas, and Philip Pettit, the political philosopher.
The student acquires a good insight into the ideal of nondomination as conceived by the main contemporary figures in the neo-Roman republican tradition, as well as basic insight into certain features of the development of thinking about liberty in the Western history.
