Description: This course explores the cultural and intellectual history of Europe, including Britain, from the late-eighteenth to the 21st century. Amid massive social and political transformations involving revolutionary uprising, imperial expansion, changing gender relations, and anticolonial resistance, how did people in Europe and Europe’s colonies understand themselves, their societies, and the world more broadly? This course introduces students to several of the most prominent and influential authors, events, ideas, movements, and institutions in modern European thought and culture. We will study many different areas of cultural and intellectual life, with special attention to philosophy, social thought, political theory, psychology, creative literature, art, and film.
