How can we take history seriously as real and relevant? Despite the
hazards of politically dangerous or misleading accounts of the
past, we live our lives in a great network of cooperation with
other actors; past, present, and future. We study and reflect on
the past as a way of exercising a responsibility for shared action.
In each of the chapters of Full History Smith poses a key question
about history as a concern for conscious participants in the
sharing of action, starting with "What Is Historical
Meaningfulness?" and ending with "How Can History Have an Aim?"
Constructing new models of historical meaning while engaging
critically with perspectives offered by Ranke, Dilthey, Rickert,
Heidegger, Eliade, Sartre, Foucault, and Arendt, Smith develops a
philosophical account of thinking about history that moves beyond
postmodernist skepticism. Full History seeks to expand the cast of
significant actors, establishing an inclusive version of the
historical that recognizes large-scale cumulative actions but also
encourages critical revision and expansion of any paradigm of
shared action.
