HTY 432 - History of Modern Ideas
This course is a survey of some of the major currents of modern intellectual history. In the nineteenth century, Europe was filled with presumptions of its own ascendancy and world-superiority. These ideas were largely justified through an interpretation of history. We will begin by looking at the dominant place of history in the nineteenth century and in particular, its relation to God, nature, and the nation. We will then turn to some of the grave doubts that emerged over Europe and its modes of thought. The twentieth century can be interpreted as a disintegration of meaning and understanding, and we will assess various attempts to describe this crisis, including endeavors to find a new basis for coherent meaning. Such endeavors continue to the present, where we will conclude. Attention to the history of art will supplement the discussion of texts.
