Karl Lamprecht and Intimations of Interdisciplinarity

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Karl Lamprecht and Intimations of Interdisciplinarity

Sunday 25 February 2024 is the 168th anniversary of the birth of Karl Gotthard Lamprecht (25 February 1856 – 10 May 1915), who was born in Jessen in Saxony on this date in 1856.

Lamprecht pioneered many ideas that would later become commonplace in history, but which in his time were not yet welcome: cultural history, social history, interdisciplinary history, history of civilization, mentalities, psychological forces, and so on. Lamprecht’s clashes with other historians over methodology resulted in his marginalization in Germany, but his influence was felt in France, Belgium, and the US.
