The unit outlines the issues of the key theoretical tools for approaching Deep Time in the Humanities and the Sciences and appraises the logical and analytic relationships between them. Theoretical tools such as Rationalism and Romanticism, multiscalarity and non-correspondence between scales, evolutionary theories in culture and biology, indeterminacy and uncertainty, and uniformitarianism both substantive and operational will be discussed. The course will assist researchers who are combining the Humanities and the Sciences in their theses and engages with the University's interdisciplinary focus.
