Course contents :
|
| This course presents a synthesis of Early Modern History (15th-18th Century), mainly in Europe, taking into account its political, cultural, social, religious and economic dimensions. It will give the opportunity to understand the main stakes of the modernity from the Italian Renaissance to the European Enlightenment.
The goal of the first year of Bachelor in History is to gain useful basic knowledge for your future training. Therefore, this course is foremost a structuring course, intended to fix and to capitalize the knowledge. Its other goal is to introduce you to the understanding of historical phenomena (explanation, links, classification...). For these two reasons, the course is also open to the other students of the Faculty: everybody will find here the opportunity to organize and complete his/her knowledge about the early modern period and to improve his/her approach of history. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| With this course, you will gain knowledge with :
- characteristic doctrines and concepts of the Early Modern period (Humanism, Renaissance, Enlightenment, tyrannicide, despotism, mercantilism...)
- definite chronology and geography of the Early Modern period
- European - and sometimes worldwide - approach of the Early Modern period.
At the end, you will get a general mastery of the Early Modern History, necessary precondition to continue your history training. You will be able to define precisely the main intellectual, cultural, religious, social, economical and political movements of this period. You will be able to place on a European map the main states and cities of this period. You will be able to explain the causes and consequences of the main events of this period. You will be able to link these events between each other and to underline the main stakes of Modernity. |
