Philosophy of History
This seminar is open to all those interested in the philosophy of history broadly construed (so that it includes historiography, historical theory, methodology). Meetings take place fortnightly on five occasions in the Autumn Term and five occasions in the Spring Term.
The theme of the papers in the Spring Term 2010 is to be 'The University: Past, Present, and Future' exploring changes in the idea of the university through history, and the role of the discipline of History within the University. A supplementary day conference on this theme in May 2010 if funds permit. Contact Robert Burns for information.
Convenors: Robert Burns (Goldsmith)
Venue: Pollard Room, IHR
Time: Thursday, 5.30pm
