LDR (Leadership)
  

  • LDR 201 - Leadership & men in granite

    Much can be learned about a regime from the leaders it chooses to honor publicly. This may be especially true in a democracy that deliberately promotes a proliferation of interest groups or factions.  In America, the faces that were so painstakingly carved into Mount Rushmore represent four of the greatest leaders this nation has ever produced. But what made Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln such exceptionally able leaders?  What do their words, actions, and examples have to say to the citizens of the late 20th century - particularly about contemporary leadership? What can we learn about character, democracy, and the limits of politics and self by studying these leaders?  Are contemporary liberties the direct consequence of having once had leaders such as Washington? If so, what does this say about the possibility of founding moderate regimes now or then?

  • LDR 464 - Politics & Leadership in Literature

    This course will seek answers to two of the most fundamental of all political questions, namely, who should rule in a regime and for what ends? Before attending to such critical questions, however, we may first have to address such fundamental political matters as the inherent tensions between equality and inequality, religion and the state, rich and poor, democracy and aristocracy, and natural and conventional leaders. Our search will concentrate on major works of literature that focus on these political issues. Such works may take actual historical leaders as the basis of the narratives, but the authors then are able to manipulate the interplay of reason, passions, and desires so that the matters with which we are most concerned may become far more visible in fiction than they ever were in life. In so doing, we may come to better understand the appropriate answers to the main question of “who should rule and for what ends”.
