Catalog Description:
An integrated approach to the humanities which examines philosophy 
and the arts in terms of their relationships, rather than as separate 
activities. The emphasis throughout will be on the ways in which a 
shared cultural outlook gives meaning to human experience and is, in 
turn, expressed through works of art. This course considers the 
achievements of the Renaissance, the Modern Era, and the Post-Modern 
Era, treating them chronologically in order to provide a sense of 
change and development in succeeding epochs.  There will be lectures, 
correlated readings and illustrations or representative works from 
each period studied. Meets A.A.
