Providentialism

the religious understanding of history as the revelation of the will of god and the fulfillment of a predetermined divine plan for the “salvation” of man.

Providentialism is characteristic of all theistic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The providentialist understanding of the historical process as the path leading to the eschatological “kingdom of god” was developed by Augustine. This view became the basis for all medieval Christian church historiography. In the 17th century the ideas of providentialism were developed by J. B. Bossuet in France.

Beginning with the Renaissance and particularly during the Enlightenment, the rationalistic view of history as an immanent process and as the realization of “natural law” and reason developed in opposition to providentialism. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries, providentialism continued to remain the philosophical basis for many idealist trends and schools—for example, in the early 19th century, J. M. de Maistre and F. von Schlegel; L. von Ranke and his school of historiography; and the philosophy of history of neo-Thomism.
