HIST 334 - The European Enlightenment

Institution:

Columbia College - Missouri

Subject:

Description:

This course traces the transformation of European culture and society between the last decades of the seventeenth century and the end of the eighteenth century. Texts include political and philosophical essays, theological works, and examples from the “literary underground” of the eighteenth century. While drawing significantly on select major writers such as Voltaire, Diderot, Condorcet and the Scottish moralists, the course also examines figures who are sometimes overlooked in introductory surveys, such as Daniel Defoe, Richard Price and Mary Wollstonecraft. The overall goal of the course is to provide both an extended contact with the works of one particular historical period, and to survey the different ways in which historians have approached the period. Prerequisite: HIST 102 or HIST 112.
