Course objectives
The second part of the lecture series points to the development of European society in the second half of the 18th and 19th century and the first half of the 20th century (from the French Revolution to the Second World War). It presents the problem of the transformation of feudal society into the modern (liberalized, nationalized and secular) society. In spite of its importance, this is however only the outer framework of the internal spiritual transformation of European society. Traditions and values, proven past centuries, are re-emerging and blow apply (historicism and its problem in the 19th century) and their relationship to revising non-European (China, Orient, transformation toward America), to history and historicity of things, to nature etc. Processes such as industrialization and urbanization 19th century and the rise of consumer society in the 20th century represent an opportunity to name the peaks changes in the values of this explored period. Relationships to culture - in search of answers to the question, what is culture?- and art (the artist freedom, state intervention in the sphere of art, artists and repression while that of other pro-regime) are viewed dynamically, in specific instances, the causes and consequences of historical development.
