Course Description (for SIS)

How is a religiously pluralistic society to pursue a societal common good? This graduate seminar explores responses to this question within religious ethics at local, national, and global levels. Readings will address major contributions to this topic within political philosophy before pivoting to responses in religious and theological ethics, including broadly Augustinian, Thomistic, and critical theological approaches. The final week of the semester will feature a discussion of Prof. Flores’s book manuscript draft for Guadalupe in the Public Square: Religious Aesthetics and the Common Good (working title). Major themes include theories of justice, citizenship, and interpretation.
