Postmodernism and Considerations of the "Good Society," Through a Comparison of Classic Texts.
Mehl, James V.
Interdisciplinary Humanities, v12 n4 p3-8 Fall 1995
Describes a college-level course that uses classic texts, such as Plato's "The Republic" and Thomas More's "Utopia," to consider concepts related to the "good society." Expands this initial approach to include consideration of a postmodernist perspective. This perspective encourages consideration of texts and ideas outside of the Western tradition. (MJP)
