Section Info:
For Chancellor's Scholars only; others may enroll with approval of the instructor and the Campus Honors Program. Topic: Darwin and the Darwinian Revolution. Description: It is universally acknowledged today that the ideas of Charles Darwin initiated one of the most profound and provocative transformations in all of human thought, science, and culture. This is a seminar about the intellectual origins, scientific content, and social, cultural, and religious impact of Darwinian evolutionary theory in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Our core subject will be Darwin's life, work, and world. The course also provides a historical case study in the development and diffusion of radical scientific ideas and explores the origins of the most successful and comprehensive theory in the contemporary life sciences. We will also explore the historical influence of Darwin's theories on diverse cultural fields, including religion, politics, philosophy, social theory, literature, gender relations, and international affairs.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Chancellor's Scholar-CHPHonors students.
