TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Bagby’s Unfinished Science of Civilization
Wednesday 16 July 2025 is the 107th anniversary of the birth of Philip Haxall Bagby (16 July 1918 – 21 September 1958), who was born in Henrico County, Virginia, on this date in 1918.
Bagby was only 40 when he died, but he had led an active life as a diplomat stationed in Casablanca and Culcutta, and he produced one book before he died, Culture and History: Prolegomena to the Comparative Study of Civilizations. This is a remarkable book with an especially clear and concise conception of how civilization ought to be studied.
