FAITH AND REASON

Early Modern Europe was a time of tremendous upheavals that transformed the earlier medieval social structures and laid the foundation for our own world. Central to this period were challenges to traditional religious views (coming from conflicts within Europe but also from European encounters with other cultures) and the introduction of new modes of reasoning. Although these developments are often associated with a process of “secularization,” i.e., the gradual diminishment of the role of religion in public life and the substitution of non-religious ideas for religious ones, we will try to paint a more nuanced picture that sees faith and reason, the religious and the secular, in a complex dialogue (dialectic) with each other. The time period of the course material stretches from 1517 (Luther’s “95 Theses” unleash the Reformation) to 1789 (the French Revolution). We will cover developments in many parts of Europe and in many areas (arts, society, politics, culture).
