A. Students will be able to discuss, analyze, and evaluate the way that works of literature, architecture, the visual arts, philosophy, and music reflect the evolution of Western consciousness from the cave paintings of hunter-gatherers of Paleolithic times to the sophistication of the cathedral builders of High Middle Ages. B. To give the students the analytical tools that will enable them to see and identify the formal similarities of seemingly unrelated cultural artifacts, such as a play and a work of architecture, a thing of words and human movement and speech and a thing of stone. To show them, for example, the formal similarities between Sophocles' "Antigone" and the Parthenon, how both Hellenic creations have a simplicity and clarity that is strikingly different from the complexity of a Gothic cathedral or a play by Shakespeare. C. To show how each succeeding age develops by both continuing the previous age and moving in opposition to it. The Romans, for example, continued the worldly, rationalistic way of the Greeks, but they did so with a pragmatic bent. They were more concerned with aqueducts, roads, and an international system of laws than with the production of drama and individual works of art.
