This work provides a welcome antidote to some of the distortions
and biases which the two dominant schools of Anglo-American
philosophical thinking, logical positivism and ordinary language
analysis have introduced into the philosophy of history in the past
three or four decades. In particular, it challenges two powerful
stereotypes: that philosophy and history are conceptually
independent of each other; and that there exists a sharp division
between "analytical" (reputable) and "speculative" (disreputable)
philosophy of history. By offering and defending his own conception
of philosophy, the author seeks to show that there is indeed common
ground between philosophy and history, that speculative philosophy
of history lies between philosophy and history, not because it is
neither philosophy nor history, but because it is both philosophy
and history. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
