TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Fustel de Coulanges on the Linkage of Facts as Historical Truth
Tuesday 18 March 2025 is the 195th anniversary of the birth of French historian Numa-Denis Fustel de Coulanges (18 March 1830 – 12 September 1889), who was born in Paris on this date in 1830.
Fustel de Coulanges is primarily remembered for his The Ancient City, but he wrote a number of longer works on French history, including his multi-volume History of the Political Institutions of Ancient France. Fustel de Coulanges thought of himself as a scientific historian and even as a Cartesian historian, and he brought a desire for Cartesian clarity to his historical formulations, but his ambition for history to be truly scientific remains unrealized.
