Karl Löwith and the Secularization Thesis
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Karl Löwith and the Secularization Thesis
Tuesday 09 January 2024 was the 127th anniversary of the birth of Karl Löwith (09 January 1897 - 26 May 1973), who was born in Munich on this date in 1897.
Löwith’s classic work Meaning in History: The Theological Implications of the Philosophy of History essentially found philosophy of history to be an illegitimate enterprise that merely secularizes Christian conceptions of salvation and eschatology and presents them disingenuously as the product of philosophical thought. This conception of secularization widened beyond philosophy of history to become a referendum on modernity and progress (which latter holds a central place in the ideology of modernity) in the form of the Löwith-Blumenberg debate, which continues today.
