Historical study has traditionally been built around the placement
of the human at the center of inquiry. The de-stabilized concepts
of the human in contemporary thought challenge this configuration.
However, the ways in which these challenges provoke new historical
perspectives both expand and enrich historical study but are also
weak and vulnerable in their concept of the human, lacking or
omitting something valuable in our self-understanding. A
Personalist Philosophy of History argues for a robust concept of
personhood in our experience of the past as a way to resolve this
conflict. Focused on those who know history, rather than on the
abstract properties of knowledge, it extends the moral agency of
persons into non-human, trans-human, and deep history domains. It
describes an approach to moral life through historical experience
and study, rather than through abstractions. And it describes a
kind of historiography that matches factual accuracy to both the
constructed nature of understanding and to unavoidable moral
purpose.
