HON 371 - Revolutions in Thought

Semester Hours: 3
This course investigates three separate and disciplinarily distinct moments of intellectual “revolution,” with a focus on how “ways of thinking” work, change, and develop over time. This content focus is paired with exercises in critical thinking and problem-formation, moving students to questions of intellectual innovation and authority. By analyzing the works, habits, and milieus of great thinkers, students will investigate questions of creative thinking-whether in the sciences, the humanities, or the arts-and will work toward developing authority in an area of their own interest.

Pre-requisites: GEN 112 - Composition II: Argumentation and Research, sophomore standing, and admission to the Honors Program, or consent.

Offered: Occasionally.
