Every nation develops a narrative structure for thinking about
history generated by its own historical experience. In this study,
the German and Austrian German "historias"-the way the narratives
of factual significance are structured as the "story" of the
events-are shown in their sameness from the late 1600s to the
present. Herodotus spoke of "historia" in our evidence of Western
thought, by which he meant both "inquiry" and "story." The "story"
of how the one and the many in the society become differs in each
national culture. While the interpretations of historical reality
among historical thinkers in each period of modernism may differ
within a national culture of a time, the narrative structure is
shared by each thinker of that society, learned in their public and
self-education within the society's normative template. This
"historia" shapes the emphases of how meaning is articulated among
the historians of a society-in this book, Germany and
Austria-regardless of their guiding ideas. The author argues that
these societies can become more open to what has occurred in the
historical thought that guides them if they see the constriction
and oversights generated by the narrative style of their
traditional historia.
