Description:

B. Shain The rise of a new moral sensibility in the political theory and literature of the late 18th century is examined in this course. In particular, the most popular works of Rousseau, selected English novelists, and the moral-sense school of the Scottish Enlightenment are investigated for their elevation of sentiment and passion over reason. The significance of this new sensibility to familial or gender relationships and to the politics of Romanticism is central to the investigation.
