Robert Heilbronner on Human Agency in Social History
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Robert Heilbronner on Human Agency in Social History
Sunday 24 March 2024 is the 105th anniversary of the birth of Robert L. Heilbronner (24 March 1919 – 04 January 2005), who was born in New York City on this date in 1919.
Heilbronner’s best known book is his history of economic thought The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times, and Ideas of the Great Economic Thinkers (1953). In addition to his books on economics, Heilbroner also wrote a couple of books that take an historical view of the future, The Future as History (1959) and Visions of the Future (1995). Heilbronner’s conception of social history is, in a sense, Arendt’s mass man seen through a more optimistic lens, with the possibility of human agency shaping the future.
