I feel like this is something you can't really just say and need to prove. But I'd add that in general almost all philosophical traditions are anti-historical because philosophy as an activity is predicated on denial of historical contingency.https://twitter.com/MikeBenchCapon/status/1025434374844678144 …

The belief in the objectivity and utility of history, like scientism, is itself a historically-contingent belief or value. I'm a professional historian, but I won't claim our contemporary way of doing history is superior to other intellectual activities.

I think analytical philosophers are more likely to make claims of objectivity than most historians. As for utility, I think reasonable arguments can be made about real world consequences. One metric is there are more public-facing historians now than public-facing philosophers
