Hugh Trevor-Roper and Purposive Movement
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Hugh Trevor-Roper and Purposive Movement
Monday 15 January 2024 is the 110th anniversary of the birth of Hugh Redwald Trevor-Roper (15 January 1914 – 26 January 2003), who was born in Glanton, Northumberland, on this date in 1914.
Trevor-Roper was an influential historian who did not write theoretical works on history or historiography, yet in the course of his many books and papers he did indicate the ideas by which he worked, such as history being concerned with “purposive movement.” He himself noted that, “The philosophy of the greatest historians cannot be quickly summarized,” and this is true for his work as well.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Franciscus Patricius and Historical Pyrrhonism
Thursday 25 April 2024 is the 495th anniversary of the birth of Franciscus Patricius (25 April 1529 – 6 February 1597), who was born on this day in 1529. Patricius is known in Italian as Francesco Patrizi of Cherso (sometimes spelled with one “z” and sometimes with two), and known in Croatian as Franjo Petriš or Frane Petrić (he came from the island of Cres).
Franciscus Patricius was a literal renaissance man who wrote a number of treatises and dialogues on philosophical topics common to his time, distancing himself from Scholasticism by attacking the authority of Aristotle, and advocating a radical form of skepticism that has been called historical Pyrrhonism.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Paul Ricœur and Rendering What Is Due to History
Tuesday 27 February 2024 is the 111th anniversary of the birth of Jean Paul Gustave Ricœur (27 February 1913 – 20 May 2005), who was born in Valence, France, to a Huguenot family on this date in 1913.
Ricœur was, by turns, a providential and phenomenological philosopher of history for whom theology was a central concern, but that did not for Ricœur dictate a providential philosophy of history such as we find in Augustine or Bossuet. Ricœur offers us striking formulations of traditional problems in the philosophy of history and so provides us with new tools for understanding history.

THE C
the-coming-coeval-age
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Further Elaborations on the Coming Coeval Age
An essay of mine, The Coming Coeval Age, has just appeared in Isonomia Quarterly for summer 2024. This essay isn’t specifically about philosophy of history, but it does touch on some philosophical problems, so I will consider some of these problems in the context of philosophy of history. In particular, I will discuss the relative complexity of terrestrial history, which is the simplest history possible in a relativistic universe. When we have access to different inertial frames of reference, and the ability to travel between then, history will be dramatically complexified.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Niccolò Machiavelli and the Vicissitudes of Fortune
Friday 03 May 2024 is the 555th anniversary of the birth of Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (03 May 1469 – 21 June 1527), who was born in Florence on this date in 1469.
Machiavelli’s influential political thought shocked his contemporaries and those who followed him with his honesty and directness, but no one could neglect him. Even when Machiavelli was condemned, it was understood that he had written things that were relevant, even if repellant. It could be argued that Machiavelli’s thought was too powerful for his time, and it is only in subsequent centuries that he could be put in proper perspective—a process that we begin to see in the nineteenth century with Fichte and Clausewitz.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Morton White and the Regularity Theory of Historical Explanation
Monday 29 April 2024 is the 107th anniversary of the birth of Morton White (29 April 1917 – 27 May 2016), who was born in New York City on this date in 1917.
White was an analytical philosopher of history who rejected speculative philosophy of history, but in rejecting historical generalizations while accepting a form of Hempel’s covering law model of historical explanation he created a problem for himself. How can we formulate regularities of historical explanation without approximating a speculative philosophy of history that sees regularity in the events that comprise history?

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: David Hume and a Deflationary Philosophy of History
Tuesday 07 May 2024 is the 313th anniversary of the birth of David Hume (07 May 1711 New Style, 26 April 1711 Old Style, to 25 August 1776), who was born in Edinburgh on this date in 1711.
Hume’s reputation as a philosopher only continues to grow with time, but during his life he was a failure as a philosopher though found success as an historian. Hume’s distinctively empiricist and skeptical philosophical views provide little in the way of a positive philosophy of history, but they can be understood as a deflationary philosophy of history that gives us a robust principle of selection for history.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Siegfried Kracauer and the Practicing Historian
Thursday 08 February 2024 is the 135th anniversary of the birth of Siegfried Kracauer (08 February 1889 – 26 November 1966), who was born in Frankfurt am Main on this date in 1889.
Kracauer, and Paul Oskar Kristeller commenting on Kracauer as his editor, prefers the working historian as his guide to philosophy of history, rather than the philosopher of history himself, but what exactly do we gain by appealing to the working historian? Do the historian and the philosopher represent what S. J. Gould called non-overlapping magisteria, or is the philosopher free to impose his philosophical thought on the historian, and, vice versa, the historian is free to propound his own philosophy of history?

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Paul Oskar Kristeller and the Status of Historical Knowledge
Wednesday 22 May 2024 is the 119th anniversary of the birth of Paul Oskar Kristeller (22 May 1905 – 07 June 1999), who was born in Berlin on this date in 1905.
Kristeller was an historian of renown of renaissance thought, which gives his reflections on the philosophy of history a particular edge. Being himself an historian, we should not be surprised to find Kristeller holds that the philosopher of history should draw from the work of historians, but he also holds that historians take their guiding ideas from philosophers.

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Carl von Clausewitz’s Moral Science of Warfare
Saturday 01 June 2024 is the 244th anniversary of the birth of Carl von Clausewitz (01 June 1780 to 16 November 1831), who was born on this date in Burg bei Magdeburg in 1780.
Clausewitz is remembered as the philosopher of war. He came of age during the Napoleonic Wars, experienced catastrophic defeats, and ultimately lived to see Napoleon’s defeat. His On War is a classical of military science, distinctively informed by his experience in combat. It is also the birthday of Jan Patočka, so I consider Clausewitz from the point of view of Ernst Jünger’s conception of war, and Jan Patočka’s discussion of Ernst Jünger.
