G – History
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 3, 2024-December 3, 2024
Tuesday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM
From the earliest time, our species has grown in its belief in freedom, changing over time in relationship to the societies that have risen and fallen. Through discussion and with the assistance of Prof. J. Rufus Fears’ “History of Freedom” lectures from the Great Courses, we explore the development of concept of freedom throughout time and attempt to discover what freedom really means to us today. This is a two-term course. Please note there are two sections of this course on Tuesdays: one is held at 9 a.m. and the other is held at 10:45 a.m.
Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
