    Description

    IC360 Reason and Romanticism 3 credits
    This humanities course explores the period extending from the Renaissance into the 19th
    century, a time of great intellectual, cultural and social ferment amid the transition from
    the medieval to the modern. Through the use of written texts, music and the visual arts,
    students will examine the eternal dualities of rationalism, order, structure and community,
    versus impulse, autonomy and individualism. Ultimately, students will confront the issue of
    just what are ?Western values,? while forging their own personal connections between the
    historical past and contemporary issues and problems. Prerequisites: completion of IC101, IC105,
    IC106, IC205 or IC206, IC210, IC212, IC260, or permission of Core Curriculum Administrator
    and junior class standing.
