Jules Michelet and the Promise of Emancipatory History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Jules Michelet and the Promise of Emancipatory History

Wednesday 21 August 2024 is the 226th anniversary of the birth of Jules Michelet (21 August 1798 – 09 February 1874), who was born in Paris on this date in 1798.

Michelet collected in his person many influences from the period that preceded him, especially in regard to the rediscovery of Vico, his life was decisively shaped by the Napoleonic empire, and he went to influence the period that followed him. Michelet, in comprehending many contemporary influences, focused in himself many of the most prominent and important themes of historical thought of his time, and his historical thought, in turn, teeming as it was with all these influences, spread out after him in succeeding generations and shaped what history become in the twentieth century.
