The History of Ideas
This course surveys a broad integrated history of human consciousness and the awakening of ideas, from the concept of monetary exchange to the idea of democracy to the valorization of ingenuity, and all points in between. Studied as a series of ?cases,? the understanding of ideas is seen inclusive to all economic, social, cultural and political forces, and seeks to expose students to this basic complexity. This course is also taught with an eye towards aligned developments in the definition of knowledge and knowledge categories in pedagogical systems.
