This two-part course traces the remarkable history of human understanding, from prehistoric toolmakers and the first writing systems to the Scientific Revolution and the technological world of today. Along the way, we will explore the contributions of Greek philosophers, Roman engineers, Islamic scholars, Renaissance thinkers, and pioneering astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. Participants will discover how observation, reasoning, experimentation, and evidence gradually transformed humanity’s understanding of nature and consider the challenges and opportunities facing science in the future.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.
