Considering current political developments, Friedrich Meinecke's insights on questions of truth, ethics, state power, and propaganda are especially relevant for historical research today.
Questions of truth, ethics, state power, and propaganda, of how to render account of catastrophes and reconcile oneself with one's past are not only crucial to our time, they were also central to the German historian Friedrich Meinecke (1862-1954). Probably no generation of historians before Meinecke had lived through more unsettling transformations, during which these questions were most pressing. Reinbert Krol's analysis of Meinecke's intellectual development does not only give us insight into his philosophy of history - which turns out to be more conciliatory than previously assumed - it can also be a source of inspiration for scholars of history today.
Reinbert Krol, born 1979, teaches history at the University of Groningen. His research interests are German political and cultural history, with a specific focus on philosophy of history.
