At the risk of sounding like some kind of academic overachiever, I suggest taking four classes. Five is the normal course load and is totally manageable; six is acceptable, but you need special permission and a good reason. And everything feels alright while you're attending class -- it's during the trainwreck of midterm and term assignments that your course load becomes, you know, a load. Heavy. Astonishingly heavy.
Four classes are great -- it's a full time course load, with just a little extra time to devote to each class. Less stress, better grades. I've had nothing but straight A's for the past three semesters, and I'm pretty sure it's that little bit of extra time.
"Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy" -- sounds like you'll read Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Ethics.
