Contemplating alternative realities plays an important part in human thought.

Counterfactual thinking and thought experiments have been used in disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, literature, history, political science, and the natural sciences. In this course, we will review the uses of counterfactual thinking in some of these fields, and then engage in extensive counterfactual analysis in a seminar discussion setting. Students will critique counterfactual scenarios presented in fiction and non-fiction works, and will creatively explore a variety of counterfactual scenarios posed to them and of their own invention. Each student will keep a record of their exploration of these scenarios, and will contribute to seminar discussions of them.
