CCS 161

The seminar is concerned with the tension between individual freedom and the order that all societies must create. An ordered society implies that people generally do what they are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it. Our casual observation of society confirms persistent patterns to human behavior. At the same time, however, most of us cling to the notion of our own individual freedom and believe that our actions are driven by our own reasons. The central question then is this: Are we truly free or do we simply follow the path that society has constructed for us?
