TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Pieper on the Teleology of Hope and History
Sunday 04 May 2025 is the 121st anniversary of the birth of Josef Pieper (04 May 1904 – 06 November 1997), who was born in the small German town of Elte, in North Rhine-Westphalia, on this date in 1904.
Pieper was a Catholic and a Thomist who wrote many philosophical works of a devotional character, and we could even call his philosophy of history “devotional” in a sense. While remaining true to an orthodox soteriology and eschatology, he takes his own positions. This isn’t just another providential philosophy of history, though we could assimilate Pieper’s thought to providentialism.
