Renaissance to Modern History for Middle School (New World to the Cold War), Part Two with Inshal Chenet
- Summary
-
Join this dynamic middle school history course on Renaissance to Modern times. In Part Two, you’ll start with the New World and travel to the Cold War. (If you have younger students, this course fits with the Homeschool Connections Grade School Unit Study Program for grades 3-6, so that your whole family can learn the same era together.)
Instructor: Inshal Chenet
Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide you with a knowledge and understanding of the history, ideas, and culture of the early modern Western world (from about 1300 until now), as well as develop an understanding of the nature of religion and its proper role in society. This era is a major transitional period in the history of the West: Christendom collapses with the rise of the modern nation-state, the visible Church is sundered, secular humanism surfaces, “religion” is slowly forced into a state of socio-political privatization/ marginalization, and new philosophies are developed that reinforce and expand this new world order. At the same time, the natural sciences, art and architecture, world exploration, and capitalism come into their own in a tremendous expansion of human activity.
