This course offers an overview of the history of Western Civilization. Rather than attempt to cover many centuries chronologically, however, it focuses on key themes in seven different units. These are Historical Thinking, Economic Thought and Practice, State-Building in Early Modern Europe, Religion and Society, The State and the Individual in Modern Europe, Imperialism, and War and Society. To help students come to terms with this history, the course emphasizes critical reading, critical thinking, writing, and group discussions.
