René Descartes and Non-philosophies of History
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: René Descartes and Non-philosophies of History
Today is the 428th anniversary of the birth of René Descartes (31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650), who was born in La Haye en Touraine, in central France, on this date in 1596. The town where he was born has since been re-named for him.
Descartes was a skeptic of history, doubting (as he doubted most things) that history could be the basis of certain knowledge. However, Descartes’ skepticism about history was a spur to some historians to submit their discipline to Cartesian criticism, but Descartes also left a legacy of neglect of history, which was thus largely passed by during the scientific revolution.
