This course will examine a critical period of transition in European history, the age of the first ¿world¿ war, the period in which kings were overthrown and the right to rebel was first defended by philosophers, the era of the scientific revolution and the early Enlightenment, and the time in which both modern republicanism and absolutism were established alongside the idea of the nation-state. The course will begin from the argument made by historians that the seventeenth century was a time of universal crisis, and will consider from there the many political, philosophical, and cultural resolutions that emerged.

This course examines the evolution of the natural sciences, mathematics, and medicine from 1800 to the present. It focuses on major themes, persons, and institutions that have shaped these fields. Science and medicine are set within a social and cultural context and the role it had in generating or impeding them. Among the topics studied are the rise of chemical atomism, the dispute over the energy conservation principle, the reaction to Darwin's evolution by natural selection, Freud's psychoanalysis, Einstein's relativity, the development of modern medicines, such as penicillin, and the growing professionalization of the sciences. Both successful and erroneous ideas as well as acerbic controversies are considered. In this course, the critical-constructive analysis of primary sources, secondary books, and articles, along with clear, well-organized writing are important.

Required for senior concentrators. The culminating requirement for every student seeking a B.A. degree in history is an undergraduate thesis, based on primary research in original sources. For concentrators in history, this thesis requirement substitutes for the comprehensive examination required for most other undergraduate subjects. Each fall semester, the several sections of HIST 401 are offered in different areas of history (Medieval Europe, Early United States, etc.); groups of students work on their individual projects but present each stage of their research to their fellow students in the tutorial group. Entry to tutorial sections is arranged during the previous semester (during HIST 388). Prerequisites: 101, 102, 387, and 388.
