HIST 604 - Postmodernism

3 hours
Postmodernism is the dominant intellectual tread in both the Global North and the Global South. Postmodernism arose out of the devastation wrought by World War I-piercing the apparently facile belief in humanitarian utopianism and was buttressed by Heisenberg’s discovery of the uncertainly principle a decade later.

In this course students will explore the dominant features of postmodern philosophy and the will begin to analyze these features from a Christian perspective. GR
