In Part 1 of this book, originally published in 1980, the focus is
on certain claims of R. G. Collingwood regarding the nature of
historical understanding, of Charles Beard about the possibility of
an objective reconstruction of the past, and of J. W. N. Watkins
concerning the reducibility of what historians say about social
events and processes to what could have been said about relevant
human individuals. Part 2 analyses the way certain historians have
distinguished between causes and other explanatory conditions in
disputing A. J. P. Taylor's account of the origins of the Second
World War. Part 3 discusses the attempt of Oswald Spengler in
Decline of the West to determine the meaning or significance of the
historical process as a whole, in the criticism of which many
themes of the earlier chapters recur.
