The Longue Durée of Intellectual History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: The Longue Durée of Intellectual History

Fernand Braudel held that the longue durée was the imperceptibly moving structure of history; Schopenhauer held that it was the history of philosophy that was the “fundamental bass” of history. Taking the two together, the slow moving development of ideas furnishes the structure of history, and we can project this back before any mind grasped any idea, as the emergence of new forms of complexity constitutes the material equivalent of novel ideas—they are the ideas of nature.
