  • サマリー

  • Discussions of persons, events, ideas, and books related to philosophy of history. What is philosophy of history? According to Hegel, it is "nothing other than the thoughtful consideration of history." The philosophical study of history, and the analysis of history from a philosophical perspective, might involve epistemology (How do we know what we know about history?), metaphysics (Is the past real?), methodology (Is history an empirical science?), logic (problems in the philosophical logic of history), and so on.

    TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Condorcet and the Progress of the Human Mind


    Tuesday 17 September 2024 is the 281st anniversary of the birth of Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, also known as the Marquis of Condorcet, and usually known to posterity simply as Condorcet. He was born in Ribemont in Picardy, on this date in 1743.


    Condorcet was a true believer in the Enlightenment creed of the indefinite perfectibility of man, and he wrote a history of humanity to illustrate this progress in the past and to predict continued progress in the future.

    TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Bruce Mazlish and the Claims of Psychohistory


    It is the 101st anniversary of the birth of Bruce Mazlish (15 September 1923 – 27 November 2016), who was born in Brooklyn on this date in 1923.


    Mazlish was an important figure in the development of psychohistory, the attempt to bring the insights of psychology and the social sciences to bear on history. But can the insights of psychology and psychotherapy offer any clarification for history, or do they only threaten to deepen the confusion?

  • Historical Exemplarism in Short-Lived Empires and Long-Lived Influence

    ADDENDUM ON NAPOLEON: Historical Exemplarism in Short-Lived Empires and Long-Lived Influence


    Following up on my episode on Napoleon, in which I mentioned Johan Huizinga on historical ideals, I revisit these historical ideals and consider them in the light of moral exemplarism. Why have historical exemplars been drawn from the long-lived influence of short-lived empires and the singular men who presided over them? Let us re-imagine figures like Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, and Napoleon as historical exemplars who give focus to the role of virtue ethics in history.
