Enlightenment The Age of - 10 views

  • To understand the natural world and humankind's place in it solely on the basis of reason and without turning to religious belief was the goal of the wide-ranging intellectual movement called the Enlightenment. The movement claimed the allegiance of a majority of thinkers during the 17th and 18th centuries, a period that Thomas Paine called the Age of Reason. At its heart it became a conflict between religion and the inquiring mind that wanted to know and understand through reason based on evidence and proof.
  • Political developments were far livelier in central Europe. In Prussia Frederick the Great, building on the military and bureaucratic organization of his predecessors, introduced greater freedom of religion while expanding the economic functions of the state.
  • France and Britain squared off in the 1740s and again in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763)

  • More than in art, neoclassicism in literature came closer to voicing the eighteenth century's fascination with reason and scientific law.
  • All are but parts of one stupendous whole,           Whose body nature is, and God the soul ...           All nature is but art, unknown to thee;           All chance, direction, which thou cannot see.           All discord, harmony not understood;           All partial evil, universal good           And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite,           One truth is clear: Whatever is, is right.

    Hi Ginger. I am creating a course in the history of art. I have posted your link on the page about mummies. I was quite delighted by your approach. Could you tell me about where you teach them what you teach and if you might be interested in the courses I am developing. Warmly, Katherine Bolman, Ph.D. www.ahaafoundation.org/ The quality of life is genuine not in the build-up of material welfare, but in the enlightened creativity of life, in the harmonisation of life. - --

    I've been looking for someone to be an art history expert! We're a grade 5-8 charter school in Kansas with 1:1 laptops, working with a PBL approach. For my younger/newbie, I find sites for them for the first bit of the year. I'd love to look at these ancient civilizations through their art and literature. You can contact me at GingerTPLC *at* gmail *dot* com. We'd love to have a course that offers more expertise, or better yet, a moment of your time to perhaps Skype in with us sometime.

Turabian Citation Guide - 0 views

    A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations Turabian Quick Guide Kate L. Turabian's Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations presents two basic documentation systems: notes-bibliography style (or simply bibliography style) and author-date style (sometimes called reference list style). These styles are essentially the same as those presented in The Chicago Manual of Style, sixteenth edition, with slight modifications for the needs of student writers. Bibliography style is used widely in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in footnotes or endnotes and, usually, a bibliography.
