HIS 148 - The Enlightenment: 18th-Century Europe

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Was the Enlightenment a unified body of thought generated by an established canon of "great thinkers" or were there many areas of contradiction and divergence? This course examines the European Old Regime in light of its political, social, economic, cultural, and religious structures; it analyzes the great thinkers Diderot, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire, Locke, Beccaria, and others. Did these thinkers, and others who are not part of the established canon, reconfigure Europe upon a model of progress that led to greater religious, political, and social reform? Prerequisite of HIS 1 or the permission of the instructor is required.
