PH 301 - The Making of the Modern Mind

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This course comprises a history of ideas from ancient Greece to the Renaissance. Specifically, it employs philosophic analysis to show the historical impact of philosophical thought upon politics, science, art, and humankind in general as well as the impact of culture on philosophy. An additional goal of this course is that of helping students recognize that many of the ideas with which they are most comfortable did not arise in a vacuum. Moreover, the ideas that they take to be the most obviously true may, in fact, require rational justification — a requirement which cannot be fulfilled without an adequate understanding of the historical context within which these ideas were first formulated.
