TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Goldstein’s Tentative Metaphysics of the Past
It is the 98th anniversary of the birth of Leon J. Goldstein (06 February 1927 to 24 May 2002), who was born in Brooklyn, New York, on this day in 1927.
Goldstein adopts a position that he calls critical philosophy of history, but it is a conception indebted to Henri-Irénée Marrou, and not to more recent analytical philosophy of history as we might naturally expect. He makes a distinction between the finished product of the historian and the historian’s methodology by which the finished product comes into being—historical knowing—that is the basis of his tentative ontology of historical facts.
