HIST 43.03 European Intellectual and Cultural History, 1800-present

Through a close reading and discussion of Europe's most influential thinkers from the Enlightenment to the end of the twentieth century, this course will explore the key concepts that shaped and reflected modern European experiences. We will discuss how European intellectuals of diverse background—social scientists and philosophers, theologians and political theorists—fiercely debated the causes and solutions to major European phenomena, including technological revolution, total war, social upheaval, secularization, and terrorism.
