HUMT 202 — European Middle Ages & Renaissance
The purpose of this course is to further students understanding of Western Civilization as evidenced by the humanities of the Medieval to Renaissance periods. The Humanities are usually defined as including literature, philosophy, religion, and the fine arts. We will be examining selected examples of these, crossing disciplinary boundaries to look for relationships between them in the context of their historical time periods, as well as looking for relationships between the periods themselves. In that sense, we will be engaged in inter-disciplinary study. You will also be developing your critical skills through reading of, writing about, and discussion of primary and secondary sources.
