The Concept of History reflects on the presuppositions behind the
contemporary understanding of history that often remain implicit
and not spelled out. It is a critique of the modern understanding
of history that presents it as universal and teleological,
progressively moving forward to an end. Although few contemporary
philosophers and historians maintain the view that there is strict
universality and teleology in history, the remnants of these
positions still affect our understanding of history. But if history
is not universal and singular, evolving toward an objective
universal end, it should be possible to admit of multiple
histories, some of which we appropriate as our own. An another
important aspect of this book is that if provides an account of
history that is itself both historical and rooted in attempts to
narrate and explain history from its inception in antiquity. The
book seeks to establish features or constituents of history that
might be found in any historical account and might themselves be
considered historical invariants in history.
