Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to introduce students to the history of science and education from antiquity to the 18th century. The subject matter is discussed in a broadly chronological order, with one selected topic in each period being analysed in more detail alongside the general characteristics. Emphasis is placed on general (or European) history, cultural paradigms, institutional developments, methods of knowledge, theoretical concepts, changes in the educational curriculum, discoveries and associated personalities.
The graduates can identify basic terms, such as scholastics, Renaissance, Humanism, Enlightenment, etc. They are able to work with them as with historiographically conditioned categories and are orientated in the recommended literature. They can also describe the significance of crucial representatives of European development in the fields of science and scholarship and understand the related paradigms of ideas. They are able to operate with the concepts "tradition" and "continuity" in assessing the individual aspects of European (spiritual) culture.
