TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Reinhart Koselleck and the Role of Conceptual History

Tuesday 23 April 2024 is the 101st anniversary of the birth of Reinhart Koselleck (23 April 1923 to 03 February 2006), who was born in Görlitz, Germany on this date one hundred one years ago.


Koselleck’s historical thought is of a piece with late twentieth century historiography, in its conceptual sophistication coupled with a suspicion of explicitly formulated philosophies of history, which cannot but appear to be folly in hindsight. But, in the light of Hayden White’s influence, which is pervasive in this historiographical milieu, can we not find a philosophy of history implicit even within skeptical historiography, as White found a philosophy of history implicit in all history?
