TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Joseph de Maistre on History as Experimental Politics
Tuesday 01 April 2025 is the 272nd anniversary of the birth of 01 Joseph Marie, comte de Maistre (01 April 1753 – 26 February 1821) who was born 272 years ago today in 1753 at Chambéry, in the Duchy of Savoy, which was at that time part of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia which was ruled by the House of Savoy.
Joseph de Maistre’s response to the French Revolution, and his reactionary view of the church and its ideal relation to science and civil society, made him notorious, while his literary style meant that he was read, and continues to be read today. If we read his conception of history as experimental politics in the light of his philosophy of science, we will be in a position to better appreciate his work.
