Abstract

The course taught in the first year of the master’s program, serves as its “core class” whose fundamental goal is twofold – to develop understanding of the nature, potential and limits of social sciences, and to elucidate the links between political, economic, and philosophical components of the PEP program. The course does count on the students’ anterior basic familiarity with philosophy, economics and political science, as well as on their advancement in these academic disciplines through taking other respective classes offered by the program and coordinated with the Research seminar. The Seminar’s aspiration is to propel the students’ grasp of the constitutive disciplines of PEP through its own devices thereby contributing to the fulfillment of the fundamental interdisciplinary mission of PEP. It is aiming at strengthening students’ intellectual outlook, cultivating skills of critical thinking, professional and public discussion.
