SMP 3/25/06 | Mars and the Evolution of Thought | Speaker: Eric Rabkin

Speaker: Eric Rabkin (U-M English Language & Literature)

Once the gods fought in our heavens; now we see the orderly progress of stars. Once the night sky harbored our enemies; now we see planets as resources for the taking. This lecture will consider how, driven in part by our changing understanding of the Red Planet, these shifts and others reflect the evolving of self-conceptions of humanity.
