| - Louis O. Mink Jr. (September 3, 1921 – January 19, 1983) was a philosopher of history whose works challenged early philosopher of history R. G. Collingwood and were part of a postmodern dialogue on history and historical narrative with other philosophers of history, like Hayden White and Georg Lukács. Mink and White were responsible for what would later be called the "linguistic turn" in philosophy of history. Mink received his bachelor's degree from Hiram College, then served in the United States Army during World War II. After the war he received a masters and doctorate from Yale. He became a member of the faculty at Wesleyan University in 1952 and remained in the department until he died of a heart attack on January 19, 1983. While at Wesleyan he was chair of the philosophy department from 1967 to 1976, the Kenan Professor of Humanities and director of the Center for Humanities. He had a wife named Helen Patterson, two sons and a daughter. Mink's largest contribution to history and philosophy of history was to emphasize the need for history to think of its published narratives as very similar to other narrative forms, such as fiction. Mink also asserts that thinking about history as "a true representation of the past" gives rise to a great deal of assumption amongst historians that poses serious problems for history by misrepresenting it and its subject matter. Mink was also important in studying James Joyce's fiction; most notably, his A Finnegans Wake Gazetteer (1978) documents all the place names in Joyce's Finnegans Wake. The interest in Joyce was not tangential. Finnegans Wake had embedded in it a cyclical structure of time and history, influenced by Giambattista Vico's (1668–1744) "La Scienza Nuova" (The New Science). Mink also ran seminars on Finnegans Wake that drew both faculty and students in interactive examinations of Joyce's work and was known for both the range of his knowledge and his wit, which could be self-deprecating. When a student informed that he was dropping out of the seminar because he was not ready for Finnegans Wake, Mink replied, "Brian, if you are ever ready for Finnegans Wake", pausing to draw on his pipe, "it is a pretty good indication that you have wasted your life."

Mink, geralmente, é associado ao debate pós-moderno sobre a história e a narrativa histórica junto a outros filósofos da história, como Hayden White e Georg Lukács. Mink e White foram responsáveis pelo que mais tarde seria chamado de "virada linguística" na filosofia da história. Louis Mink bacharelou-se no Hiram College, depois serviu no Exército dos Estados Unidos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Após a guerra, fez mestrado e doutorado na Universidade de Yale. Em 1952, tornou-se membro do corpo docente da Universidade Wesleyan e permaneceu na instituição até sua morte, em 19 de janeiro de 1983. Enquanto atuava na Wesleyan, Mink foi chefe do departamento de filosofia de 1967 a 1976, "Kenan Professor" de humanidades e diretor do Centro de Humanidades. Ele era casado com Helen Patterson, e tinha dois filhos e uma filha. A maior contribuição de Mink para a história e para a filosofia da história foi enfatizar a necessidade de se pensar a narrativa historiográfica como muito semelhante a outras formas narrativas, como a ficção. Mink também afirmava que pensar a história como "uma verdadeira representação do passado" gerava muitas suposições entre os historiadores que colocavam sérios problemas para a história, deturpando-a e também a seu próprio objeto. Mink foi um importante estudioso da ficção de James Joyce. Sua obra principal nesse assunto é "Finnegans Wake Gazetteer" (1978) no qual documenta todos os nomes de lugares em Finnegans Wake, de Joyce. (pt)
