Hidden in Historicism considers how the nineteenth-century
philosophy of historicism depicts three "forgotten time regimes": a
time of rise and fall, an ambiguous time of synchronicity of the
non-synchronous, and a time in which decisive moments dominate.
Before the eighteenth century, time was past-oriented. This
inversed in the Enlightenment, when the future became dominating.
Today, this time of progress continues to be embraced as a "time of
the modern". Yet, inequality, increasing violence and climate
change lead to doubts over a bright future. In this book, Harry
Jansen moves away from the heritage of Reinhart Koselleck and his
single time of the modern towards a historicist, threefold temporal
approach to history writing. In the time regime of the twenty-first
century past, present and future coexist. It is a heterogeneous
time that takes on the three forms of historicism. Jansen's study
shows how all three times exist together in current historiography
and contribute to a better understanding of the world today. Based
on the idea that an incarnated time rules everything that happens
it reality, the book offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing
discussion about time and time regimes in contemporary philosophy
and theory of history for students and scholars, both time
specialists and the non-specialist.
