  • TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Carl Becker and the Problem of Historical Facts


    It is the 151st anniversary of the birth of Carl Becker (07 September 1873 – 10 April 1945), who was born in Waterloo, Iowa, on this date in 1873.


    Becker was among the most noteworthy of American historians, and he reflected on his historical practice in several works, especially “What Are Historical Facts?” and “Everyman His Own Historian.” The problem of historical facts is one we have encountered before and will encounter again, so I take up Becker on historical facts and how interpretations of facts are shaped by worldviews.
