This important book charts the development of philosophical thinking about history over the past 250 years, combining extracts from key texts with new explanatory and critical discussion. The book is designed to make the work of thinkers such as Hume, Herder, Hegel, Dilthey, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Foucault accessible to students with no prior knowledge of Western philosophy.
An introductory section is followed by nine further chapters exploring contrasting schools of thought. The volume reveals the origins of contemporary trends in the discipline and relates wider philosophical reflections to the study of history itself. It also points to connections between philosophy of history and literary and cultural theory which have developed in recent decades.
"Philosophies of History will serve as a valuable
introduction and point of reference to historians and history
students who want to understand what the philosophers have been
saying about their subject." Richard J. Evans, Professor of
Modern History, University of Cambridge
"'Philosophy of History' is usually limited either to discussion
of a narrow canon of historical speculators or to abstract
conceptualizing, and it is useful to have a work, including both
primary texts and commentary, that brings together both lines of
interpretation." Donald R. Kelley, James Westfall Thompson
Professor of History, Rutgers University
"The primary purpose of this work is to serve as a sourcebook,
and in this regard it is excellent. But perhaps its chief virtue is
how well the documents are introduced. Graceful and succinct, it
can serve as a guide not only to students beginning their study of
the philosophy of history but to their instructors as well."
