Section Info: Description: This course examines the cultural and intellectual history of Western and Central Europe, including Britain, from the late-seventeenth to the mid-twentieth century. In the aftermath of terrible conflicts, from the religious wars of the seventeenth century to the world wars of the twentieth, how did the people of Europe understand their societies, their countries, and the world in general? The course is intended to introduce students to key figures and ideas from this 300 year-span, from Hobbes and Locke to Arendt and Orwell. We will study many different areas of cultural and intellectual life, with special attention to philosophy, social thought, political theory, psychology, the physical and biological sciences, creative literature, and the visual arts. Readings will be a combination of primary sources, both written and visual, as well as secondary sources, reflecting recent scholarship in the field.
