Post-Enlightenment thought gave birth to a new set of philosophical, social, and political questions, which, in turn, gave birth to a new set of disciplines. Economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and a host of other fields of study came to prominence in the 19th century. These all involved a reassessment of human nature and proposed new, controversial, and sometimes radical views about the relationship between man and society and between man and himself. The purpose of this course is to understand and assess these views in light of the broader intellectual tradition of the Christian West.
