In 1500, most European governments were monarchies. By 1800, there had been successful revolutions in Britain, France, and America. The result of these revolutions was a dramatic increase in popular participation in government. There was also a revolution in thinking about politics- most intellectuals now hoped and expected that democracy would spread. This course, focusing on primary sources, examines the major political thinkers of the era- including Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau- to understand how this crucial intellectual change came about.

Science is the attempt to figure out how the physical world works, and this course is intended as an overview to its history. The course will examine the history of science from two directions: topically, as various fields developed over time; and culturally, as we examine the relationship between specific cultures and the ways they developed theoretical models explaining how the universe operates. Throughout the course, we shall be reading secondary and primary sources that illustrate these two approaches.
