The starting point will be the book Orbis sensualium pictus by Jan Amos Comenius, which will serve as a basic guide to early modern culture and at the same time enable the selection and formulation of individual topics. Each student will choose one of the topics and, in consultation with the instructor, prepare a presentation along with supplementary material (readings for other students, list of recommended readings, etc.).
This course requires physical attendance throughout the whole semester.
