The philosophy of history is an area of interest not only to
philosophers, but to historians and to social scientists. It has
been of central importance in continental European philosophy since
the late 18th century, and for the past half-century has had a
significant place in Anglo-American philosophy. Interest in the
philosophy of history continues to grow. This volume offers both an
introduction to contemporary discussion in the philosophy of
history, and a 'reassessment' of some of the major movements in the
philosophy of history since the beginning of the 20th century.
Including the work of leading international scholars in the field,
the book presents a wide range of perspectives from different
schools in philosophy, and in political and social theory, history,
and the history of ideas. Traditional questions raised in the
philosophy of history are explored with fresh insight - the nature
of history; historical understanding; historical objectivity; the
nature of the past; the psychological factors in historical
explanation; the human significance of history - alongside issues
which are less frequently examined including: the role of science
and mathematics in history, history as a social science, and
history as an art form. As history itself remains disputed ground,
it is important to consider what clues history can provide for our
response to issues of contemporary concern such as political
realignments and economic globalisation; this volume offers
important insights from leading scholars in the philosophy of
history.
