Course Description

The purpose of this course is to survey the development of various Western civilizations and the ways in which culture translates, transforms, and transcends the world around it. But, while we will survey history across many millennia and several continents, this is not strictly a "survey class." We are not obliged to cover "Plato to NATO" and, as such, this course will serve neither time nor topic but spread its colors where curiosity draws the eye.
