(Spring 2016)

Research Hall 402

Section Information for Spring 2016

What was "The Enlightenment," and what is its legacy? This course studies the predominant scientific and cultural movement in eighteenth-century Europe and the Atlantic World. We will also explore how differing readings of the Enlightenment have conditioned our understanding of subsequent events in Europe and farther afield up until the present day. This course will approach the Enlightenment from two closely related perspectives. First, we will sample period texts and examine contemporary practices. Next we will explore the range of interpretations of the Enlightenment proposed in recent scholarship. This course fulfills the ancient to 1789 requirement.
