A scholar of Hellenistic and Prussian history, Droysen developed a
historical theory that at the time was unprecedented in range and
depth, and which remains to the present day a valuable key for
understanding history as both an idea and a professional practice.
Arthur Alfaix Assis interprets Droysen's theoretical project as an
attempt to redefine the function of historiography within the
context of a rising criticism of exemplar theories of history, and
focuses on Droysen's claim that the goal underlying historical
writing and reading should be the development of the subjective
capacity to think historically. In addition, Assis examines the
connections and disconnections between Droysen's theory of
historical thinking, his practice of historical thought, and his
political activism. Ultimately, Assis not only shows how Droysen
helped reinvent the relationship between historical knowledge and
human agency, but also traces some of the contradictions and
limitations inherent to that project.
