Our visions for society and policy proposals are informed by cultural and personal values and background assumptions. The course will treat the different philosophical principles and models put forward by I. Kant, utilitarianism and K. Marx. It will then examine the ways in which political, liberation, feminist and postcolonial theologies can partake in and challenge the public debate on equality, justice, recognition and reconciliation in a global world.
