The course was originally developed for students at Marist College.  In this portion of the class, we are reading, examining, and discussing two key works by Martin Luther King Jr., the Letter from a Birmingham Jail, and the "I Have a Dream" speech

This video focuses on King's discussion and reinterpretation of the classical distinction between just and unjust laws. 

The course itself is intended to introduce students without a background in philosophy to some of the key texts, authors, perspectives, and concepts of the History of Ideas, with a particular focus upon human nature, culture and society, and the reality underlying and encompassing human beings and their experiences.
