"The chief business of twentieth-century philosophy" is "to reckon
with twentieth-century history," claimed R. G. Collingwood. In this
remarkable collection of essays, Frank Ankersmit demonstrates the
prescience of that remark and goes a long way toward meeting its
challenge. Responding to the work of Hayden White, Arthur Danto,
and Hans-Georg Gadamer, he examines such issues as the difference
between historical representation and artistic expression, the
status of metaphor in historical description, and the relation of
postmodernism to historicism. Ankersmit's fluent grasp of European
thought and his ability to incorporate concepts from literary
theory, art history, the philosophy of science, and political
thought into his analyses assure that this collection will interest
readers throughout the humanities. This title is part of UC Press's
Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1994.
