Annotation
While the philosophy of history was a thriving field in the 19th century, it has become increasingly insignificant
in contemporary philosophy. Today both the postmodern and the analytic theories reject the idea of progress or
meaning in history, which was central to traditional theories. Is it possible to do philosophy of history without
these ideas? Is the philosophy of history still a viable field in philosophy today or should it be regarded as an
antiquated paradigm?
