The 'Dreams in History' series continues on Monday at 4 in the Lecture Theatre on the 4th floor. Now that we have experimented with the different ways we can view the material relevant to ancient dreams, the theme this week is a close consideration of what constitutes an explanation for us as commentators on the past and how the current idiom (at any given point) drives this judgement: the handout at summarises the strategy of the argument explained thus far and notes what would count as explanation in a few different contexts
