Description

This course explores how the European Enlightenment redefined the idea of human freedom. Unlike the classical world, the Enlightenment insisted on equality, thus paving the way for both the articulation of human rights and broader- based participation in the political process. We read works ranging from political tracts to short novels and prose-poems to explore how these ideas still shape our political world.
