Insights developed in the past two decades by philosophers of the
social sciences can serve to enrich the challenging intellectual
tasks of conceptualizing, investigating, and representing the human
past. Likewise, intimate engagement with the writings of historians
can deepen philosophers' understanding of the task of knowing the
past. This volume brings these perspectives together and considers
fundamental questions, such as: What is historical causation? What
is a large historical structure? How can we best conceptualize
"mentalities" and "identities"? What is involved in understanding
the subjectivity of historical actors? What is involved in arriving
at an economic history of a large region? How are actions and
outcomes related? The arguments touch upon a wide range of
historical topics -- the Chinese and French Revolutions, the
extension of railroads in the nineteenth century, and the
development of agriculture in medieval China.
