TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: A. J. P. Taylor and the Nuremburg Thesis
Tuesday 25 March 2025 is the 119th anniversary of the birth of Alan John Percivale Taylor (25 March 1906 – 07 September 1990), better known to posterity as A. J. P. Taylor, who was born in Birkdale, England, 119 years ago on this date in 1906.
Taylor’s The Origins of the Second World War, published in 1961, was a controversial book that many viewed at the time as unacceptably revisionary. It has since come to stand the test of time, but the controversy that the book provoked furnishes us with interesting ideas like the Nuremberg Thesis, the Taylor Thesis, and Sonderweg as tools of historical interpretation that we can analyze.
