TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Carl Stephenson and the Second Urbanization of Europe
Saturday 10 August 2024 is the 138th anniversary of the birth of Carl Stephenson (10 August 1886 – 03 October 1954), who was born at Fayette, Iowa, on this date in 1886 (or 1888—at least one source gives the year of his birth as 1888 rather than 1886).
Stephenson was an American medievalist who wrote a classic work, Medieval Feudalism (1942), and who studied the origins of urbanization in the Middle Ages. A short, concise book on a foundational concept can go a long way toward clarification, and Stephenson’s Medieval Feudalism provided some of this clarification, illuminating medieval civilization entire in doing so.
