T3 4130 - Philosophy of History
History is the study of the past and the past itself. It also is how we remember and tell about the past. Will explore different approaches to history. Narrative, or story-telling, remains the oldest and still most common way of describing the past. But alternatives are to be found, not only among professional historians, but artists and filmmakers. Understanding the relationship of humans to their past has occupied some of the greatest of philosophers, who then have influenced historians. Selected readings, films, and occasional lectures will accompany class discussion. Students will draw on this material to complete a final project, usually a long essay, on the philosophy of history.
