  • TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: McTaggart on the A-Series, the B-Series, and the C-Series


    It is the 158th anniversary of the birth of John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart (03 September 1866 to 18 January 1925), better known to posterity as J. M. E. McTaggart, was born in London on this date in 1866. It is also the 103rd anniversary of the birth of Louis O. Mink (03 September 1921 – 19 January 1983), who was born in Ada, Ohio, on this date in 1921.


    McTaggart denied the reality of time, so it would seem paradoxical to attribute to him a philosophy of history, but Mink, who was a philosopher of history, wrote a paper on McTaggart that was somewhat sympathetic, implying that a philosopher of history can appreciate the problems with time identified by McTaggart. To what extent are philosophies of history based on conceptions of time, and to what extent ought they to be so based?
