A collection of fourteen essays in which Professor Postan draws
together for the first time his contributions to the debate on
historical method, and discusses from a variety of different
angles, the inter-relation of history and the social sciences.
After making, in his first three essays, a direct statement of his
point of view, the author deals with two main aspects of the
subject: time sequences and theoretical relevance of facts. He then
proceeds to exemplify his point of view more particularly with
relation to macro-economics and to certain specific issues within
economic history as well as to economic history in general. In the
final two chapters, one is on Karl Marx, the other on Hugh
Gaitskell, he seeks to describe the intellectual climate in which
the debate on methodology was held and in which his opinions on the
subject were formed. The essays contained in this book will be of
interest to all those involved in the social sciences, economics
and history, as well as to those specifically concerned with
historical methodology.
