History in Political Philosophy: Refutation and Imagination
V. B. Weber
This research, conducted by Victor Braga Weber (University College London), argues that historical research matters to normative political philosophy not only to check theories against facts but as a vital source of imaginative resources. Drawing on thinkers like Collingwood, Skinner, Foucault, Geuss, Graeber, and Williams, the paper shows history prevents epistemic failures and biased limits on possible solutions to collective problems.
