This interdisciplinary volume explores the relationship between
history and a range of disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences: economics, political science, political theory,
international relations, sociology, philosophy, law, literature and
anthropology. The relevance of historical approaches within these
disciplines has shifted over the centuries. Many of them, like law
and economics, originally depended on self-consciously historical
procedures. These included the marshalling of evidence from past
experience, philological techniques and source criticism. Between
the late nineteenth and the middle of the twentieth century, the
influence of new methods of research, many indebted to models
favoured by the natural sciences, such as statistical, analytical
or empirical approaches, secured an expanding intellectual
authority while the hegemony of historical methods declined in
relative terms. In the aftermath of this change, the essays
collected in History in the Humanities and Social Sciences reflect
from a variety of angles on the relevance of historical concerns to
representative disciplines as they are configured today.
