Question.2883 - You have been reading and discussing a number of philosophers’ concepts of an ideal and just society. For this assignment, you will engage in a thought experiment in which you are charged with the task of writing a declaration or manifesto for a newly formed society. They look to your enlightened insights gathered from this class as a guide in constructing a just and fair society. You are the philosopher for a new age and a new world! Section 1: Explain your society. Who are the members of this society? (How culturally, religiously, and ethnically diverse is this collection of people? Are they families? Are there men and women? Are there children, elderly, and disabled amongst the group?) Why are they seeking a new society? (Are they exiles, aliens, a separatist movement, prisoners on their way to a penal colony, a religious movement, refugees after a post-apocalyptic event seeking a new nation state, etc) What are the human and environmental surroundings of this new society (Are the surroundings hostile to human life, full of other hostile humans, a land of milk and honey, etc). These contexts will affect your manifesto or declaration (1/2-1 page). Section 2: Create your manifesto. What are the ethical ideals, and the foundation for order or law (or justification for anarchy)? Are there certain basic rights for all members? Who will have authority and lead the society? What is your vision for distributive justice--who gets what? (1/2-1 page). Section 3: Analyze and justify your manifesto using philosophical concepts from Chapters 8, 9, or 10. This section needs to be at least a page and must thoughtfullyengage at least 2 philosophers that you are drawing from to set up your society (1-2 pages).
