Pinning this bc apparently I *am* going to read more and write more about Becker, lol.

That letter to Frederick Jackson Turner led me to Becker's famous "Detachment and the Writing of History," published the same year. I've read this before but probably early grad school? It's been a long time.

Holy crap, what a fascinating essay, both for its time and in our *present* time, like literally, right now.

I was able to download a pdf here:

Hegel was influenced by Kant, the Western enlightenment, and Fichte and Schelling, but also by ancient Greek tragedy and his varying historical studies. He was the last great systematic philosopher, with works that covered every philosophical question at that time...

In the course of writing something on Louis Mink, I stumbled (don't ask me how) on Galen Strawson's "Against Narrativity" - and it struck me as a very interesting paper. Colleagues in #TheoryOfHistory / #PhilosophyOfHistory who have read it: what do you think about it? #philosophy

Question for fellow @histodons : it's probably a personal blind spot in my search methodology 😅, but I can't seem to find much engagement with #karenbarad among historians or #philosophyofhistory . Can someone point me in the right direction?

@SteveCooke Ah, I see. #Schopenhauer was indeed a big grump. But he's not wrong about #Hegel. How is it that there are still philosophers who take Hegel's #PhilosophyOfHistory seriously and aren't even critical of its manifest-destiny-of-the-white-race vibe? Sigh, a few in my department. :(

On the 24th of November I will be presenting my paper "Historical Knowledge and Epistemic Dependence: issues of trust and expertise" at the Centre for Philosophical Studies of History (Unicersity of Oulu).

A short abstract: Philosophers working in social epistemology and the philosophy of science increasingly recognize that we are fundamentally dependent on others for much of what we claim to know. Historical knowledge is often one of those kinds of knowledge: ordinary people depend on historians and their research to know that something past is (or was) the case. But epistemic dependence is inevitable even in highly specialized contexts, such as scientific and scholarly research. Scientists and historians depend on the work of their peers for making cutting-edge research, and they trust their peers to have done their work appropriately. ...
