I don't consider her one of the more important thinkers in this context, but within the dichotomy I outline here I'd place her on the "speculative-heuristic" side.
Is there a particular reason for why you so purposefully avoided Comte's philosophy of history? it's surprising considering you mention Condorcet, since the positivist conception of history could be considered just a re-formulation of his, yet one which was much more influential than the original.
I didn’t “so purposefully avoid” anything. Comte, in this particular area, is in my view little more than a vulgarization of what preceded him, so I don’t find him significant and he barely occurred to me. (He may be significant in terms of influence and reception, yes, but not in terms of original and rigorous philosophical contribution, in this particular area.) I do refer to him briefly in my “Western Self-Contempt”, however.

Where does Hannah Arendt fall within the picture of thinkers on the philosophy of history?
