Honors - American Intellectual History

This course will expose students to important American intellectual movements from the Puritans to contemporary political, social and cultural commentators. The focus of the topics may shift but will certainly include these important cultural and political issues: the relations between the individual and the state, debates over the economic and social systems, discussions of religion and science, and the various ideological positions in American society. This course is equivalent to POL 3456. Students will receive credit for either HIS 3456 or POL 3456. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.
