AHS475 RULE BRITANNIA: THE ART OF BRITAIN FROM THE
TUDORS TO THE WINDSORS
3 credits
This course is
inspired by the close proximity of the only comprehensive
collection of British art outside of Tate Britain in London at
the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven. A range of artists
and their works available in this unique collection will be
studied closely, and students will choose their course projects
from it. Examples of topics to be explored are the Continental
Holbein and Van Dyck as artists for the Tudor and Stuart courts;
the development of a native English visual language and subject
matter in the “modern moral subjects” of Hogarth; the strong
development of the primary English subject matter of landscape
and portraiture; the continuing trend for subject pictures and
social narrative through the Victorian age; and the involvement
of English art in the development of the artistic trends of the
late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Other cultural themes
to be considered are: the relation of English art to that of the
Continent, particularly Italian, Dutch, and French; the
association of the visual arts with the preeminent literature of
English poets, playwrights, and novelists; the concurrent
sensibilities of the practical and naturalistic with the poetic
and visionary; and the ever present figurative tradition in the
twentieth century from Bacon to Freud and Saville, and its
counterpoint at the same time in abstraction and conceptual
work, from the Vorticists of the 1910s to the Young British
Artists of the 1990s. |

HUM 155 INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY II-
3 credits
In
this course we will examine central themes in the philosophical
systems of eight major philosophers from the 17th and 18th
centuries: Descartes, Malebranche, Spinoza, Leibniz, Berkeley,
Locke, Hume, and Kant. The issues taken up by these
philosophers and their ways of grappling with them are not only
intrinsically interesting, but continue to be important and
influential in philosophy down to the present day. We will
focus on the interpretation
and evaluation of the arguments
these philosophers offer in the areas of metaphysics and theory
of knowledge. Among the particular topics to be discussed are:
skepticism about the external world; necessity, contingency and
free will; the mind-body problem; personal identity; proofs of
the existence of God; the notions of causality and substance;
and forms of idealism.

ANTH105 TOPICS IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NEW ENGLAND: THE
CONNECTICUT RIVER
3 credits
The
Connecticut River has been the focal point for prehistoric and
historic cultural adaptations and was the center of Native
American culture for nearly ten millennia. With the arrival of

residents saw the Great River as an entrepreneurial opportunity.
An explosion of maritime activity followed that evolved into an
unrivaled Connecticut Valley industrial complex.

particular peoples and their relationship to the river and the
river valley. The presentation of data will be based upon
written and physical artifacts leading to a reconstruction of
the social, economic, technologic and ideological approaches to
life within this region |
