| PREQ: Sophomore standing. |
| Description of Material Being Covered: This course deals with
Greek concepts of the natural and physical world, and looks with deep perspective at the
interplay of technological development and cultural change. As now taught, it uses one
general history of science and three book-length primary sources to see, for instance,
Aristotle struggle with physics and mechanics in a time before pi, a time before inertia,
a time before mechanical advantage, a time before the understanding of second-degree and
third-degree levers; to see ancient medical writers attempt a unified theory of disease in a
time before the microscope; and finally, in Vitruvius to see a Roman comprehension and synthesis
of this understanding of the natural and physical world. In addition to subjects based on readings,
the professor will present materials for which a good ancient written source does not exist but
where the surviving materials themselves are the source. (e.g. the development of the lathe,
the development of ancient metalwork, and others). |
Required Books:

| PREQ: Latin 101 or some high school Latin (see instructor if you have only high school Latin and are interested in this course). |
| The Use of Latin for Today's Student: For fifteen hundred years or more the Latin language was the life-blood of the intellectual development of western Europe. Subjects as diverse as history, government, law, rhetoric, literature, philosophy, religion, medicine, physics, astronomy and mathematics were written about, talked about and thought about in Latin. For people of that time, not to know Latin was to be largely cut off from the life of the mind. Likewise, for students of today, to lack all knowledge of Latin language and culture is to remain forever intellectually "childish"; enjoying the fruits and suffering the consequences of our intellectual heritage without even recognition or acknowledgment, not to mention insight and understanding. |
| In addition to its place as an invaluable key to the story of intellectual development in the West, knowledge of Latin may help to unlock for the student much of the modern world as well. In a vast swath across our planet, from the southern tip of South America to the coast of the Black Sea, the languages spoken are essentially Neo-Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and Catalan are all directly descended from Latin. Much of the grammar, morphology, vocabulary and syntax are readily transparent to those who have studied Latin. A good Latin student can, without any further formal training, learn to read these languages with facility. |
| Description of Material Being Covered: This course is a continuation of Latin 101. In this class the student will continue to learn the grammar of the adjective and noun. All indicative forms of the verb will also be learned. |
