Henri Frankfort and the Form of a Civilization

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Frankfort and the Form of a Civilization

Monday 24 February 2025 is the 128th anniversary of the birth of Henri Frankfort (24 February 1897 – 16 July 1954), who was born in Amsterdam on this date in 1897.

Frankfort was an archaeologist and an author who strained at the limits of his professional specialization and so occasionally found himself engaged in philosophy of history. His practical experience on excavations in Egypt and Iraq, and his subsequent books about the ancient civilizations of these regions, shine a distinctive light on history and civilization.
