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.
