TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Wilhelm Windelband and the Place of History among the Sciences
Saturday 11 May 2024 is the 176th anniversary of the birth of Wilhelm Windelband (11 May 1848 – 22 October 1915), who was born in Potsdam on this date in 1848.
Windelband formulated a distinction between nomothetic sciences and idiographic sciences, placing history in the latter category with its own distinctive methodology. The nomothetic is the lawlike, the regular, and the universal; the idiographic is the individual, the particular, and the unique. But does this distinction hold up as a rudimentary taxonomy of the sciences? Are the sciences one or many?
