1.      Liberal theorists such as John Rawls seem to argue for a state that is neutral on questions of 'values' and about the nature of the 'good life'.  What would be the communitarian response to this?  How might liberals defend themselves from communitarian charges?

2.      Does individualism necessarily corrode the sense of solidarity required to support a meaningful set of shared values?

3.      Are communitarians right to conceive of the self as 'embedded' in a social role or rols?  Do liberals really think that the self is independent of such roles, and do they really ignore our embeddedness in social practices?

4.      Feminists and communitarians both attack the idea of a neutral liberal state.  Does this mea they really agree with each other?  How and how not?

5.      How important is it for feminist political theorists to make the analysis of the category of 'woman' central to their work?  Are feminists right to concentrate on the issue of 'difference'?  Can we think of 'women' as a unified subject of political thought and action?

6.      What is the difference between an individual human right and a collective or group right?

7.      How do you think communitarians, feminists, liberals, or postfoundationalists might approach a concrete political issue such as abortion, crime, or genetic experimentation?  Does one of these perspectives seem more helpful to you than others?  How so?
