A leading intellectual member of France's Freudian school,
Michel de Certeau combined principles from the disciplines of
religion, history, and psychoanalysis in order to redefine
historiography and rethink the categories of history. In "The
Writing of History," de Certeau examines the West's changing
conceptions of the very role and nature of history itself, from the
seventeenth-century attempts to formulate a "history of man" to
Freud's "Moses and Monotheism" with which de Certeau interprets
historical practice as a function of mankind's feelings of loss,
mourning, and absence. Exhaustively researched and stunningly
innovative, "The Writing of History" is a crucial introduction to
de Certeau's work and is destined to become a classic of modern
thought.
