The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the basic issues of history of science and education in the wider sense of the word (education as part of culture) in a time span ranging from Classical Antiquity to the end of early modern times. Emphasis is laid on the European space and, mainly, Latin-rooted culture. The lessons also focus on chronological presentation of the most significant representatives of history of science as well as on cognitive methods and institutions and ideological postulates characteristic of the given era.
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. |
