Philosophy of history

The old firm of Taylor and Perry interview Dan Little for Philosophy Talk

Is history just a series of events, or an interpretation of those events? Is there progress in history? Can history be objective, or is it, as Napoleon said, just the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon? Ken and John revisit the past and it’s meaning with Daniel Little, Chancellor of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and author of New Contributions to the Philosophy of History.
