The Shape of Time
Through eight speculative essays and parables, this C2 course traces the philosophy of history from a naive faith in progress through cycles, catastrophe, and contingency to the reflexive question of who has the right to narrate the past at all. Learn to read and to command the highest registers of argumentative and philosophical English.
