I took a series of four college courses on “History of Art,” “History of Science,” History of Literature,” and “History of Philosophy.” The subjects were taught in a great books format and in chronological order. I learned quite a bit about both what happened and, usually, why it happened. I also learned to spot anachronisms such as Romans with stirups or Egyptian chatiots with horse collars.
