Instructions: This final exam comprises two long answer questions, aiming for ~750 words each, the first of which will require reference to your response journals. You may confer and consult your notes but may not reference outside sources. You may cite the same author in multiple questions but must cite at least 5 different thinkers over the exam length, at least 3 of whom must be from the second half of the semester (response journals #3 and #4 ). You will be graded on how accurately you discuss the course readings, your grasp of the core concepts, the originality of your answers, and the soundness of your reasoning
1. looking back at your response journals, give an account of how politics shapes ideas and how ideas shape politics. Do so by answering the following questions for each of the two authors covered in the journals:
What conflicts, between whom, does the author identify in their account of society? Who rules whom?
How does this text challenge and/or affirm the social order into which it intervenes?
Whose interests do the ideas in this text serve? Who stands to gain or lose?
How are the author’s economic or political interests reflected in your answers to the previous questions?
2. Is there a difference between political and economic power? Compare three thinkers’ accounts of the relationship between economics and politics and examine the consequences of giving an affirmative or a negative answer to that question.
