Philosophy of Time Course
Explore the philosophy of time through relativity, quantum theory, and metaphysics. Designed for humanities professionals, this course sharpens your conceptual tools and helps you craft rigorous, innovative research on the nature of temporal reality. Delve into A-theory and B-theory, persistence, presentism, eternalism, and their links to special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, and quantum gravity, while practising mapping metaphysical claims to physical models and analysing key objections.

What will I learn?
This course provides a concise, high-level guide to A-theory and B-theory, persistence, presentism, eternalism, connecting them to special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, and quantum gravity. Learners will map metaphysical claims onto physical models, analyse major objections, and design focused interdisciplinary research proposals on the nature of time.
