Paul Oskar Kristeller and the Status of Historical Knowledge

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Paul Oskar Kristeller and the Status of Historical Knowledge

Wednesday 22 May 2024 is the 119th anniversary of the birth of Paul Oskar Kristeller (22 May 1905 – 07 June 1999), who was born in Berlin on this date in 1905.

Kristeller was an historian of renown of renaissance thought, which gives his reflections on the philosophy of history a particular edge. Being himself an historian, we should not be surprised to find Kristeller holds that the philosopher of history should draw from the work of historians, but he also holds that historians take their guiding ideas from philosophers.
