HON 184. Social Science Concepts: the Global and the Local

Using primary sources to the extent possible, students develop a critical understanding of units of analysis such as state, revolution, nation, gender, race, culture, class, freedom, and power. Second, through a variety of disciplinary perspectives, it applies those concepts to analyses of the ways in which human cultures and polities have exchanged ideas and developed power relations during different historical periods from antiquities to the present. The context is therefore global, with special attention give to the effects of global phenomena on specific localities.

HON 210. From Black Elk to Black Holes
3.00
The course will begin with an intuitive look at the universe through Native-American mythology. Against this backdrop, we will then view the universe scientifically by brief studies of 2 scientific revolutions of the 20th Century - relativity and quantum mechanics - each of which rings with profound philosophical implications. Finally, we will search for commonalities between these seemingly disparate worldviews. A goal is to derive an integrative “myth of meaning” that balances intellectual and intuitive understanding of the world and of our place as humans in it.
