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 denial of the philosophical basis of the contemporary historical approach is an element of historicism, just as the presumption that science's superiority over philosophy is based on utility is a part of scientism. History and science have more limited intellectual claims.

I would say historicism and scientism are both constructs -- maybe even strawmen -- of philosophers that have very little if anything to do with the practice of history or of science. But this isn't a matter that can be settled on twitter
