Romein and the Logical Geography of Theoretical History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Romein and the Logical Geography of Theoretical History

Wednesday 30 October 2024 is the 131st anniversary of the birth of Jan Marius Romein (30 October 1893 – 16 July 1962), who was born in Rotterdam on this date in 1893.

Romein proposed the possibility of a theoretical history, influenced, at least obliquely, by his Marxism, as we can glimpse Marx’s cultural evolutionism at work though the fabric of Romein’s theoretical history. Few historians have taken up the call to develop a theoretical history as Romein imagined it, but the idea is an intriguing one that still possesses possibilities.
