For a one or two-quarter/semester survey course.

Chronological in format―with individual units focused on time periods, specific events, and historical questions, it is internally organized around six major themes―The Institution and the Individual; Social and Spiritual Values; The Power Structure; Revolution and Transition; The Varieties of Truth; and Women in History and the Humanities. Throughout the volumes, students are confronted with basic questions regarding historical development, human nature, moral action, and practical necessity.
