Beard on Historical Relativism and the Objectivity Question

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Beard on Historical Relativism and the Objectivity Question

Wednesday 27 November 2024 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Charles A. Beard (27 November 1874 – 01 September1948), who was born in Knightstown, Indiana, on this date in 1874.

Beard is often presented as one of the great figures of the Progressive Era in American history, and his works are taken to embody progressivism. He is also remembered, like Carl Becker, for his relativism, but exactly what he meant by historical relativism is not always what others meant by the same term.
