TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Heer’s Philosophical History of Europe
Thursday 10 April 2025 is the 109th anniversary of the birth of Austrian historian Friedrich Heer (10 April 1916 - 18 September 1983), who was born in Vienna 109 years ago on this date in 1916.
Heer wrote The Intellectual History of Europe, which I identify as a philosophical history of Europe and use as the point of departure to discuss Copernicanism, historical uniformitarianism, and the possibility of historical objectivity. Is objectivity attainable or even desirable? I place this question in a cosmological context to consider it from a novel perspective.
