Description

'Equality', wrote Alexis de Tocqueville, is the 'generative fact' of the modern age. It is also, he recognized, a product of Christianity. This course explores the Christian roots of modernity by showing the link between the empowerment of the individual conscience in the Reformation and the emergence of modern values of liberty, equality and democracy. Navigating the moral economy of the West, Dominic Erdozain explores how secularism may not be all it appears.
