Gomperz on Logical Positivism in Historical Research

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Gomperz on Logical Positivism in Historical Research

Sunday 18 January 2026 is the 153rd anniversary of the birth of Heinrich Gomperz (January 18, 1873 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary – December 27, 1942 in Los Angeles, California), who was born in Vienna on the 18th of January in 1873.

Gomperz wrote a paper—“The Concept of History”—and a monograph—Interpretation: Logical Analysis of a Method of Historical Research—on philosophy of history, which give us, in turn, his overall conception of history and a detailed analysis of one part of his conception of history. We could bring them together into a whole that was greater than these two parts if we developed each in the light of the other.
