HIS The World Since 1500: A
Global Perspective - Martha
Cooley
This course will examine the
world of 1500 - a world in which a
number of major civilizations
existed that were in some cases
more advanced than the West. It
will then consider the major
developments (intellectual,
economic, political) in the West
which led to expansion and
eventually to world domination
by the West. Finally, it will deal
with the non-European response
to Western development and
Western dominance. Throughout
the treatment of these questions,
the emphasis will be on the in
terrelatedness and in
terdependence of (1) the world in
its global context, and (2) the
different developments
(economic, political, intellectual)
in Western Europe.
The second major thrust of the
course will be an exploration of
the history of some of the ideas
which have had' a significant
impact in interpreting and
shaping modern history. In order
to do this, we will focus primarily
upon the various understandings
of human nature and destiny that
have developed in.the West since
the Renaissance. We will also
necessarily give some attention
to changing views of God, nature,
and society, because important
shifts in the interpretation of any
of these other basic issues
inevitably has led to a re
examination of human nature
and destiny.

mean, for his topics include the
great questions of philosophy:

anything, the foundations of
knowledge, free will, and the
roots of ethics. We will explore
these questions with Nozick in
weekly seminar sessions.
Students will be responsible for
initiating class discussions as
well as for writing a major paper
