Philosophy and Culture of the 19th Century
This course is an opportunity to explore the major thinkers and historic challenges that shaped the mind of Europe in the 19th century. Intellectual history emphasizes the exchanges of ideas and debates that went on among people from other places and times. But it also stresses the importance of a continuing dialogue between the present and the past.
This course in intellectual history, therefore, seeks to expand our capacity for engaging in informed "dialogue" with the intellectual world of 19th-century Europe.
The thoughts of that world are still with us today, powerful forces in the cultural, intellectual, and political debates of the early 21st century.
In fact, 19th-century Europe was the crucible for most of the ideas, institutions, and "isms" that now shape the life of our entire planet, including:
nationalism
capitalism
democracy
socialism
conservatism
liberalism
feminism
bureaucracy.
And the list goes on. The course lasts for 10 weeks. It costs 350. For more details ring 01792 480245 or 07592330467
