Multiscalar Narratives and the Study of Origins – Philosophical Analysis of Big History
Original language description
The future of the philosophy of history is inescapably intertwined with the future of history and historiography itself. Thus, philosophers of history should be ready to explore new approaches to structuring and gaining historical knowledge that are stirring passions among historians and theoreticians. By doing so, philosophers of history may hone their theories and tools. This paper focuses on the Big History project initiated by David Christian. Rather than discussing its possible historical ties, the paper analyses its narrative structure and epistemological and ontological assumptions. It addresses the description of Big History as a modern creation myth, its posthumanist features, synergies with an originary approach to historical knowledge, and its use of complexity theories.
