By the mid-twentieth century, philosophers of history had to confront the discrepancy between the modern conception of history as the site of progress toward a free and rational society and that framework's apparent contradiction by empirical events. I consider the arc of the teleological concept of history from the standpoint of its crisis, arguing that this crisis does not repudiate the concept but instead underscores its importance. Through close readings of key texts by neo-Kantian Ernst Cassirer and Critical Theorists Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, each of whom understands the modern concept of history to represent a constitutive feature of modern subjectivity and social life, I challenge the tendency in philosophical discourse to treat that concept as obsolete. Such treatment misconstrues the concept as either descriptive, in which case it is inaccurate, or normative, in which case it is arbitrary. I argue, instead, that the modern concept of history is and has always been a critical concept, immanent to the modern social form, and not invalidated by its incongruency with lived experience.
