The area concentration in Political Theory at Yorktown University is representative of a generational recovery of Classical political philosophy begun when European émigré scholars came to the United States during World War II seeking freedom from totalitarian regimes, and trained a new generation of American scholars. When the social bonds that hold us in community with one another, and societies are destroyed and lives threatened, political theorists seek answers to very important questions: what is political community; justice, political obligation, revolution, and how should regimes be organized, if tyranny is to be avoided?
