 Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 4 Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:22 pm Subject: End of History |

Is the account history? Why or why not? I would say that Contat is not a historian. Biography writing is not the study of history. It is the record of it, bu ... |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 4 Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:47 pm Subject: Darwin, Marx and Turner: Day 2 |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 4 Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 7:52 pm Subject: Kant and Hegel: Day 1 |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 4 Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2013 3:19 pm Subject: Galileo |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 4 Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 10:29 pm Subject: Herodotus and Thucydides |
