HONR 161 - Western Civilization 2: Medieval and Renaissance Europe

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

This course builds on the story that began in HONR 160, tracing how the traditions of Christian, Greek, and Roman thought and culture formed the Christian culture of late antiquity, including monasticism, feudalism, scholasticism, and humanism. It is not merely a course on synthesis, but on the creative way that the Latin Christians looked at the questions left to them by the ancient world about the ordering of the soul according to the virtues, and according to the divine order set forth in Holy Scripture and the revelation in God's creation, including the creative efforts of God's highest creation, the human soul. The course's main emphasis is on the place of love ordering one's soul to God, and how this theme is inescapably present throughout this period.
