History’s Great Debates

History is more than dates and dead guys. In this course we will tackle four major themes: personal liberties, economies, governments, and worldviews. In each class, we will address a particular sub-theme, e.g., (Un)Free Speech, The Rise of Technology, War & Conquest, Reason & Faith. To do so, we will study historically significant people, institutions, developments, ideas, and arguments from across the world and throughout time. Through analysis and discussion, we will strive to answer questions and discover lessons that are directly relevant to our lives today. (Credit/No Credit)
