Cosmic Dissolution/Evolution?
HUM 102 SP

This course examines the movement of central concepts, values, images, and institutions from the late Middle Ages to modern times. This succession may be viewed as progress, or as a breakdown, or as a series of conflicts. It may give rise to questions about the notion of a dominant culture or a univocal tradition; in any case, students will be encouraged to interpret the meaning of this sequence. Class discussion, opportunities for writing, and interdisciplinary work with literary, philosophical, historical, and other texts are emphasized.
