HUM 2230 Humanities in the Modern World

An integrated approach to the humanities which examines philosophy and the arts in terms of their relationships, rather than as separate activities. The emphasis throughout will be on the ways in which a shared cultural outlook gives meaning to human experience and is, in turn, expressed through works of art. This course considers the achievements of the Renaissance, the Modern Era, and the Post-Modern Era, treating them chronologically in order to provide a sense of change and development in succeeding epochs. There will be lectures, correlated readings and illustrations or representative works from each period studied.
