Chapter 13. Philosophy for Everyman: Kant’s Encyclopedia Course
Drilling Down: Can Historians Operationalize Koselleck's Stratigraphical Times
According to Reinhart Koselleck, in every moment a congeries of "temporal strata" are effectively co-present, but not necessarily coherent, hence the "simultaneity of the nonsimultaneous." Contrast this with the notion of a zeitgeist in which every aspect of a historical moment is integrated by some master principle. There are so many trajectories active in any present that it is unlikely that one might coordinate all of them, if not unwise even …
Discipline, Philosophy, and History
Gorman proposes to investigate historical practice under the rubric of a philosophy of disciplines. Such philosophy must first "recover historically" the self-constitution of the discipline in order then to appraise its procedures for warranting claims. Gorman's concept of discipline would have profited from consulting the substantial body of empirical research and theory regarding disciplinarity, and his "historical recovery" of the discipline o…

Herder and Historical Metanarrative: What's Philosophical about History?
THERE IS SOME TRUTH in Goethe's pronouncement that Johann Gottfried Herder's ideas had been both absorbed and forgotten by the conventional wisdom of German culture after 1800. He was absorbed either into the project of the Jena Romantiker and their literary hermeneutics or into the project of Hegel and his philosophy of history. But after the rise of historicism in the school of Ranke and Droysen, a retrospective redemption seemed possible. Thus…
Kant's "Naturalistic" History of Mankind? Some Reservations
Among many important claims, Allen Wood in Kant's Ethical ought proposes that Kant's philosophy of history can be grasped as a "naturalist" approach, grounding human nature in biology. I suggest some reservations. First, I question Kant's conception of biology as (a still emergent) science. Second, I question Kant's extension of his notion of "natural predisposition" to reason and freedom. Third, I question the naturalism of Kant's philosophy of …
Teleology then and now: The question of Kant’s relevance for contemporary controversies over function in biology
Ankersmit and Historical Representation1
Historical debate is a semantic quarrel not about the exact meaning of words, but about the past. (HR:62) In Historical Representation Frank Ankersmit seeks a juste milieu between postmodern theory and historical practice. But he still insists that the meaning of a historical representation "is not found, but made in and by [the] text." Thus "there will be nothing, outside the text itself, that can govern or check [the conceptualization]." Accord…
