SUMMARY:THOMAS HOPKINS’ PUBLIC LECTURES AT ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY
DESCRIPTION:On April 4\, at 15:00\, at Book House Ligamus of Ilia State University\, at the invitation of Iliauni Social and Cultural Research Institute\, Research Associate in history and politics at the University of Cambridge\, Thomas Hopkins\, will deliver the public lecture: Political Theory and Its History. \nWhy do we need to learn the history of political thought? Obviously\, for the purposes of getting a better understanding of politics. The vast majority of modern philosophers cannot stand a temptation of defining politics as the realm of applied ethics. In case of such an approach\, the purpose of theory proves to be identification of “norms.” As for practical politics\, its aim appears to be to make the world compatible with the programme devised by the theory. When it comes to the history of political thought\, it should be noted that it calls upon us to cast a skeptic glace upon this maneuver. \nThomas Hopkins’ lecture will focus your attention on the major changes having taken place in the methodology of political thought in 1960s and will pay close attention to the activities performed by the so called “School of Cambridge.” \nRegarding the speaker:\nHistorian of politics\, Thomas Hopkins\, has delivered lectures in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge since 2015; at the same time\, he has been a bye-fellow in History and Politics at Christ’s College\, University of Cambridge.\nIn 2014-2015\, he taught the history of political thought at the University of London.\nIn 2011\, at Christ’s College of the University of Cambridge\, Thomas Hopkins defended his PHD thesis in the field of history\, with the title: “Say and Sismondi on the political economy of post-revolutionary. Europe.”\nIn 2005-2006\, Hopkins studied at the same university on the Master’s programme of philosophy with special emphasis on political thought and intellectual history. \nSelected publications: \n2015 ‘The Limits of “Cosmopolitical Economy”: Smith\, List and the Paradox of Peace through Trade’\, in T.
