SGBN 346 - Revolutions: Scientific and Political4.00 credit hours
(Same as: SGBS 346 .) The conception of Revolution is now encrusted with tradition. Few historical episodes present themselves as more substantial or more self-evidently worthy of study. Nevertheless, like many twentieth-century “traditions,” the notion of Revolution is not nearly as old as we think. The phrase, “The Scientific Revolution,” for example, was not in common use before Alexandre Koyr gave it wider currency in 1939. This course examines two paradigmatic “revolutions” the French Revolution and the Scientific Revolution and the history of their interpretation over time.
Prerequisite(s): SGBN 101 and SGBN 102 or SGBS 101 and SGBS 102 .
