Module 05 Course Project – Final Draft (Some of this assignment is already completed)

The course project requires you to research and write an analytical paper comparing and contrasting the political views of two philosophers on one of the following areas:

Human Conflict – the nature and causes thereof.
The best or best possible cooperative social arrangements, capable of resolving or diminishing society’s common problems.
The moral foundations of political legitimacy (what is the good state).
Who should govern – one, few, or many?

Within your paper discuss how the views of your two chosen philosophers on the one chosen political issue relate to that same political issue today. Share your own well-supported views on the matter in a conclusion.
