Texts:

Canadian
Political Philosophy, ed. Ronald Beiner and Wayne Norman, (Oxford
University Press, 2001).
C.B.
Macpherson, The Life and Times of Liberal Democracy, (Oxford
University Press, 1977). (Available as a reprint from the University
Bookstore)
Charles
Taylor, "The Politics of Recognition" in Multiculturalism,
ed. Amy Gutmann (Princeton University Press, 1994). Some of you
may already own this collection. If you don't, I encourage you to
buy it -- it is a classical text in the field. Note, however, that
this is not a required text.
Copies
of Macpherson's book, Taylor's essay, and possibly some additional
readings are available at the Main Library Reserve Desk. Materials
used in class (e.g., overheads) will be made available here on the
course web site.
Students
who are looking for some additional background on the issues that
we will be discussing in the course are encouraged to have a look
at: Will Kymlicka, Contemporary Political Philosophy: An Introduction,
2nd. Edition. (Oxford University Press, 2001). Note, however, that
this is not a required text.
