Course Summary

Course Description

Philosophy and History offer a particularly rewarding combination of subjects within the humanities. Together, they allow you to develop complementary skills. They intersect at the deep conceptual issues that underlie our understanding of history: for example, should history be understood as development, as progress, or rather as a meaningless struggle for power by interested parties? The answer to such questions is crucial to the problem of how we understand ourselves.

UEA is a particularly good place to combine the two subjects. UEA's School of History, on the one hand, comprises one of the largest concentrations of historians in the UK. Philosophers at UEA, on the other hand, are particularly interested in the history of ideas, both in teaching and research.
