Hugh Trevor-Roper and Purposive Movement
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Hugh Trevor-Roper and Purposive Movement
Monday 15 January 2024 is the 110th anniversary of the birth of Hugh Redwald Trevor-Roper (15 January 1914 – 26 January 2003), who was born in Glanton, Northumberland, on this date in 1914.
Trevor-Roper was an influential historian who did not write theoretical works on history or historiography, yet in the course of his many books and papers he did indicate the ideas by which he worked, such as history being concerned with “purposive movement.” He himself noted that, “The philosophy of the greatest historians cannot be quickly summarized,” and this is true for his work as well.
