Geoffrey Elton and Thesis-Dominated History
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Geoffrey Elton and Thesis-Dominated History
Saturday 17 August 2024 is the 103rd anniversary of the birth of Geoffrey Elton (born Gottfried Rudolf Otto Ehrenberg; 17 August 1921 – 04 December 1994), who was born in Tübingen, Germany, on this day in 1921.
Elton was an historian of Tudor England who also wrote on historiography and touched on philosophy of history at many points. He is remembered as one of the parties of the Carr-Elton debate on historiography, along with Ted Carr. Elton especially criticized what he called thesis-dominated history, which he compared unfavorably to thesis-free or empirical history.
