TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Ankersmit on Linguistic Transcendentalism and Historical Experience
Wednesday 20 March 2024 is the 79th birthday of Franklin Rudolf Ankersmit (born 20 March 1945), who was born in Deventer, the Netherlands, on this date in 1945.
Ankersmit’s historical thought is enmeshed in contemporary issues and we find him engaging with Richard Rorty, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Donald Davidson, Arthur Danto, Hayden White, Erich Auerbach, and Jörn Rüsen, inter alia. His book Sublime Historical Experience sets up a dichotomy between the linguistic transcendentalism of the linguistic turn in historical theory on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the attempt to find or to cultivate sublime (pre-linguistic, non-cognitive) historical experience.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
