IT 413 - Studies in Italian Renaissance

Semester Hour(s): 3
Semester(s) Offered: Spring even 4th years
Italian Renaissance is a period of great cultural change and achievement. It is an explosion of the creativity, of the beauty, and of the excellence of the human mind. Philosophical ideas of the Italian Renaissance such as the dignity of Man (a precursor of the principle of basic human rights), and the belief in an ideal, in a free world, still inform our discourse today. This course examines this great cultural achievement through major authors, artists, philosophers, musicians, explorers, trends and intellectual movements of the Italian Renaissance.
