HIS.Q 101 - Western Civilization I

(Perspectives Enduring Questions) How do we know what happened in the past? Who wrote down the official version, and what were their motives? How were historical narratives constructed into a particular cultural paradigm that we still employ? Does history teach us any meaningful or enduring lessons? What are ‘paradigms of culture’? These questions are explored through discussions of the major cultures, people and events that shaped the Mediterranean World, from Greek antiquity to the early Medieval period in Europe.
