Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Astounding changes occurred--beginning around 500 years ago--in the social, cultural, and intellectual life of Western Europe and the Americas that have had a lasting impact on our sense of self. Technological advances and theoretical innovations changed the very nature of the way in which individuals came to conceive of themselves and their environment. Copernicus and Galileo transformed our conception of the universe. Magellan helped remap the world. Leonardo DaVinci and Michelangelo produced a more compelling reflection of the material world. Machiavelli redefined politics and Montaigne explored the vagaries of human consciousness. This interdisciplinary course provides an introduction to some of the highlights of Renaissance culture and traces their impact on the literature, philosophy, and theater of the time. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
