HUM 102 The World of Ideas: Modern
This course introduces students to important ideas, individuals, and works in the principal disciplines of the humanities from the Renaissance of 1400 C.E. to the present. Illustrated lecture/discussions survey painting, sculpture, music, architecture, literature, philosophy, and science, including examples from non-Western cultures. Students will gain a basic understanding of how great works in each discipline represent and comment on human experience, how they are linked to their historical eras, how they respond to the past, and how they speak to the future.
