David Carr and the Historical Reduction

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: David Carr and the Historical Reduction

Friday 28 June 2024 is, to the best of my knowledge, the 84th birthday of David Carr, who was born on this date in Parkersburg, West Virginia, in 1940, and who, again to the best of my knowledge, is still alive, making him an exception among most of the figures I have covered in these episodes.

Carr has written several books and papers on phenomenological philosophy of history. Carr wrote, “Rather than asking: What is history? Or: How do we know history? a phenomenology of history inquires into history as a phenomenon…” Following this phenomenological lead, Carr formulated an historical reduction drawing upon Husserl’s phenomenological reductions.
