Course objectives

The Enlightenment, characterized by the "rule of reason," led man to emancipation on the path to the lasting affirmation of human and civil rights. From the end of the 18th century, the development was towards civil society, the emergence of national movements and the gradual building of the pillars of a democratic establishment. Do we know where the roots of the system we are part of are? The course will focus on turning points in European history - the French Revolution with an episode of the government of Napoleon Bonaparte, their political, cultural and social implications for the formation of civil society in Europe in the first half of the 19th century.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- explain the beginnings of the formation of civil society at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries;
- identify and describe the milestones of the historical development of revolutionary and Napoleonic France;
- to analyze the effects of developments in France in other European countries in the first half of the 19th century.
