HIST 012 PZ -History of the Human Sciences

Institution: Pitzer

Description: [formerly Hist 22 History of the Disciplines] The social and behavioral sciences-economics, sociology, political science, anthropology and psychology- structure our experience so completely that we sometimes take them for granted. The great division of intellectual labor that these “human sciences” represent can seem so natural and so logical, that it is sometimes hard to imagine a world without them. But these disciplines did not always exist. In exploring their histories, we simultaneously ask about the contingency of our world and about how it might be different. It is a history of the present.
