2013-2014
The city as a laboratory of political ethics
More than the half of the planet's population lives in a city: in a megacity or in a smaller one. How does this urban reality affect our life styles and the evolution of values? The course will suggest some perspectives of political ethics in order to understand the moral implications of what should be a just society at the scale of a city which is a heterogeneous space, a place of inclusion and exclusion and a driving force of plurality. What does this mean for the cohabitation of people from different cultures and religions? You are invited to participate in an unconventional analysis of political ethics by virtually visiting several real and imaginary cities.
