The Historiography of Philosophy is the text, virtually unchanged,
of the Nellie Wallace lectures, which Michael Frede gave in Oxford
in 1989-90. In these lectures, Frede is largely concerned with how
the history of philosophy has been studied and how it should be
studied, that is, how we ought to conceive of and explain what
historians of philosophy have been doing and should be doing. He
distinguishes three systematical approaches to the history of
philosophy, which run under the same heading 'history of
philosophy' and deal with the same material, but they are distinct
enterprises: Philosophical Doxography, Philosophical History of
Philosophy, and Historical History of Philosophy. All three
enterprises are considered by him as perfectly legitimate, but he
clearly gives priority to the historical history of philosophy,
since the other two ultimately have to rely on its findings; for it
is only a historical discipline that can determine which position a
philosopher of the past, as a matter of historical fact, took and
for which reasons he did, in fact, take it. Frede starts his
lectures by showing how the historical history of philosophy
differs from the two philosophical studies of the history of
philosophy; he then examines the historical discipline in more
detail, and finally looks into the consequences of its practice.
This volume also contains three previously published articles by
Frede on the same topic, a preface by Katerina Ierodiakonou that
places Frede's lectures in context, and a postface by Jonathan
Barnes that discusses and criticizes Frede's views.
