Course Description

Instructor: George deMan

Three of the 20th century's greatest thinkers and two of its best prose stylists reappraised through a lens of their perceptions of time's passage and its conditioning of human experience. Marcel Proust's elegant and epically scaled Remembrance of Time Past -- Einstein's concept of a fourth dimension of space/time -- and Loren Eiseley's companion essays: The Immense Journey and The Firmament of Time -- together form the framework to an examination of what the human experience of time means. No prior knowledge of these works or concepts is necessary to an appreciation of the insights and teleology of this overview.
