This video covers the philosophy of history as historical self-understanding remains a fundamental question of the discipline. It sketches a fresh interpretation looking back to ancient Greece and Rome to present day, evaluating where humanity is relative to history, and considering this possible "age of transition". Included are resources philosophy can provide to help answer this such as attention to progress, teleology, and "end of history" discourse. The intended audience for this perennial line of questioning are researchers and students interested in the cross-sections of history and philosophy and related disciplines of the humanities and social sciences.
