Half this course is the philosophical foundational material you'd expect, but the other half is more a political overview using liberation in a wide context to include Ghandi, MLK, Malcom X as chapters. While their political struggles have a connection to the philosophy of liberation, it's a weak connection compared to Locke and the rest discussed in the front half. It seems more like a vehicle for the lecturer to turn the conversation to a subject he's personally passionate about as (and he show more intersperses those sections with his personal involvement in protests). show less
