Dear /lit/!

I recently applied for a job at an academy for political education! As a part of the job interview i have to give a keynote speech about the theoretical and ethical foundations of politics in modern societies.

Can you recommend me any authors besides the classics (Hobbes, Strauss, Schmitt, Rousseau, Habermas) that may come in handy for this? or give me general advice?

Thanks in advance

Are the universities and schools in your country not run by tight-knit groups of leftist Francophiles?

A bit of a contradiction there, but whatever. Cover deontic and enlightenment era ethical theory (e.g philosophy of liberty). Many modern constitutions are based around these principles. Christian ethics are also still present, albeit hidden behind a secular wall. Marxism also still has a presence in socialist countries.
