Contents


The Course is based on the study of modern European history, projected to conquer the world, which provided to transform it irreversibly and to transmit its fundamental values, which also represented the weapons of that same conquest: capitalism, the composite State and political and social pluralism.The elements to undertake that conquest were some institutions and power, like the Church, rival of politics; a military ruling class founded on birth and land ownership, often rebellious; a plurality of urban organizations, of legal systems, of conflicting political parties.The modern age culminates at the end of the nineteenth century, in the so-called age of imperialism, before the incredible European suicide in the first half of the twentieth century. Consequently, it is no longer important to consider the contemporary age as the completion of modernhistory, but rather to distinguish modernity from a postmodern time that opens with world wars and coincides with the end of European dominance and the failure of its identity.A monographic part of the Course will be dedicated to the history of the Italian Republic.
