Is a philosophy of history possible?
pp. 219-240
Résumé
Charles Taylor: So far we have heard mostly negative statements about the philosophy of history. We have heard, for instance, about assumptions which can no longer form a tenable basis for it. So now, at the end, let us try to answer the positive question: what can the philosophy of history be today? Can there still be such a discipline as a meaningful area of study, as a distinctive and fruitful kind of philosophical inquiry? Or, to put it bluntly, who needs philosophy of history? And what could be the philosophy of history today?
