This MA builds on Sussex’s long tradition of innovation and expertise in intellectual history.
Exploring the major transformations and discourses in intellectual life since 1500, you’ll focus on:
the history of political ideas
religious and economic thought
the Enlightenment
the history of wars and empires.
Democracy and rights, war and empire, and toleration and persecution are all studied historically. You explore the ideas of thinkers through their literary texts and their practical contexts.
Genuinely interdisciplinary in approach, the course examines the interrelations between philosophy, politics, science, religion and literature in Britain, Europe, North America and China.
