HIST105

An introduction to European culture from antiquity to the Renaissance. The course will coordinate the subject matter and methods of three disciplinary approaches: history of ideas, history of politics and culture, and history of art. It will give students a grasp of major cultural states, with emphasis on Greek culture and thought, the Roman Empire, the merging of Judaic and Hellenistic thought and the rise of Christianity, medieval Christendom, Renaissance humanism, and the Reformation.
