Fernand Braudel and the Structures of Historical Time

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Fernand Braudel and the Structures of Historical Time

Saturday 24 August 2024 is the 122nd anniversary of the birth of Fernand Braudel (24 August 1902 – 27 November 1985), who was born in Luméville-en-Ornois, a provincial village in Lorraine, on this date in 1902.

Braudel is thought of as the major figure of the second generation of the Annales school of history, which was founded by Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre. Braudel distinguished among three levels of historical time—the event, the conjuncture, and the longue durée—and focused his historical efforts on explicating how the longue durée shapes human history.
