Philosophy of History

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

Is history just a series of events, or an interpretation of those events? Is there progress in history? Can history be objective, or is it, as Napoleon said, just the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon? Ken and John delve into the past and its meaning with Daniel Little, Chancellor of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and author of History’s Pathways and Varieties of Social Explanation.
