  • TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Bossuet on Particular Providence and Nominalism


    Friday 27 September 2024 is the 397th anniversary of the birth of Jacques-Bénigne Lignel Bossuet (27 September 1627 – 12 April 1704), who was born in Dijon on this date in 1627, and who came to be known as the Eagle of Meaux, as his diocese was Meaux.


    Providential philosophy of history constitutes one of the fundamental divisions of Western philosophy of history, originating with St. Augustine, who was himself the source and origin of philosophy of history in the Western tradition. Bossuet represents a distinctive permutation among providential philosophies of history, emphasizing particular providence over general providence and coupled with universal history and a hint of nominalism.
