The book is the first critical reading of all the major writings on
history by Benedetto Croce. The study is not a summary but a
critical assessment based on the relevance of Croce's aesthetics
for his concept of history. This account differs from previous
studies which are characterized by the excluding or by minimizing
the aesthetic, a process the author calls "defiguring." Within this
framework Croce's concept of history is not a total philosophy but
only an allegory of history: a narrative of the impossibility of
history. In other words, Croce's history is not unlike his
definition of Hegel's Phenomenology or his system as fiction. It is
also not unlike Vico's New Science, the other major influence on
Croce's concept of history, as an imaginative science. This study
realigns Croce's concept of history with Hegel's and Vico's to
redefine, thanks to Croce, how we understand history.
