History: The Crusades - God’s War. With David Halliwell £61.60 Mon 21/01/2019, 19:00 - 21:00, 8 sessions, Ref. C2341085 The Grange Community Centre, Vicarage Lane, Radcliffe-on-Trent, NG12 2FB This course explores the origins of the crusades, the role of the papacy in forging a new interest in the Holy Land and the Muslim Jihadi response. How did Christians and Muslims perceive each other? How war was waged between them? The role of the military orders, such as the Templars and Hospitallers, will be analysed and will question how their rise challenged attitudes towards orthodoxy and stimulated the popular imagination. Finally, consideration will also be given to whether what we think about the crusades really matters today; from Walter Scott to Ridley Scott.

C2341027 The Grange Community Centre, Vicarage Lane, Radcliffe-on-Trent, NG12 2FB We will study the social history of the Regency period which forms the setting for Jane Austen’s novel Emma- a period of lavish hospitality among country gentry, but also of huge cultural and social change. Jane Austen described Emma Woodhouse as ‘a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like’, a girl who gets almost everything wrong while thinking herself infallibly right. Exploring the novel’s social settings, comedy and morality, we make time too for sheer enjoyment.

C2340878 St Mary’s Church Hall, Main Rd, Radcliffe on Trent, Nottingham, NG12 2FD Starting with an exploration of the meaning and value of friendship in ancient Greek philosophy we then examine how useful it is to divide the world into ‘people like us’ and ‘people not like us’, and study descriptions of those ‘not like us’ across history; consider the theory that our sense of self is dependent on others (with the help of philosophical arguments from Hegel, Sartre and others) and examine whether it makes sense to say that others may know better.

C2341026 The Grange Community Centre, Vicarage Lane, Radcliffe-on-Trent, NG12 2FB The Treaty of Versailles is regarded as the most important one which was signed after the First World War and we will look at how it came about.
