| This course surveys the history of the Middle East from the pre-Islamic era to recent events and debates. You will study the culture and milieu in which Islam emerged, its remarkably quick expansion, the new cultural syntheses these early conquests produced, and the political and religious forms they engendered. As we move into the more stable middle period, you will learn about the similarities and differences between the various empires that ruled the areas now known as the Middle East, and how they produced distinctive identities while drawing on a common religious heritage. Towards the end of the semester, we will examine the impact of European colonialism, attempts at modernization in the turbulent nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the particular challenges that face the Middle East today. Throughout, we pay attention to the various political, religious, economic and social components of the historical moments we study, as well as the various sectors of Middle Eastern society. | ||||||||

| Philosophers throughout the Islamic world, from the 8th century until today, engaged in sophisticated debates on a wide range of topics, from logic and psychology to metaphysics, theology, and politics, developing novel arguments and theories about scientific method, the human soul, and the creation of the world. In this course we will consider how philosophers in the Islamic world approached these questions as well as engaged in a series of cultural exchanges: the translation of Greek philosophy into Arabic with the help of Syrian Christians, the vibrant intellectual milieu among Jewish and Muslim authors in Islamic Spain, the translation of Arabic philosophy into Latin, and European colonialism. | ||||||||
