Whitrow’s Natural Philosophy of Time in History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Whitrow’s Natural Philosophy of Time in History

Monday 09 June 2025 is the 113th anniversary of the birth of Gerald James Whitrow (9 June 1912 – 2 June 2000), better known to posterity as G. J. Whitrow, who was born at Kimmeridge in Dorset, on the English Channel, on this date in 1912.

G. J. Whitrow’s two books, The Natural Philosophy of Time and Time in History are essentially reading in the philosophy of time that naturally flows into the role of time in history. And insofar as time constitutes history, our conception and analysis of time will bear upon our conception and analysis of history. No philosophy of history can ultimately evade the problems of time, so it’s better to make them explicit and incorporate them ab initio.
