Beginning in the sixteenth century the Western world experienced a rapid succession of revolutions over a 300-year period that radically transformed human knowledge and social organization and, in the process, ushered in our modern world. This course examines the interconnection of four great revolutionary movements from 1543 to 1848—the Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, and Socio-Political Revolution—and explores how these movements collectively have fashioned the modern Western mind and way of life.
The primary discipline of this course is History.
