The Humanities Interdisciplinary Minor surveys relationships
among philosophy, literature, music, architecture, sculpture,
and painting. It also makes some use of science, popular culture,
contemporary events, and whatever else relevant that may come
to hand in order to explore as richly as possible the interrelationships
among arts and ideas. And it does so for entire cultures, subdivided,
of course, into their major periods.
