DESCRIPTION
In the course History of Knowledge we will focus on questions about what knowledge is and what was seen as valuable knowledge, from classical antiquity up until today, and the way this knowledge was passed through during time, with special attention for the institutions that played a major role in the process: the library, monasteries, the university, the Republic of Letters, the Museum, the new disciplines of the 19th century, the laboratory and the latest developments in the e-humanities. The students will learn about different styles and methods to develop new knowledge, preserve existing knowledge, and the coherence and differences between the sciences and the humanities.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
