Toynbee A Study Of History

Flöistad, Guttorm: Philosophical Problems Today Volume 1, SPRINGER NETHERLANDS, November 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 9048143373
Volume 1 in the new series, Philosophical Problems Today, contains articles on standard problems in European and American philosophy. Quine writes on truth and discusses various difficulties connected with the clear definition of the correspondence theory of truth. Strawson, in his articles on individuals, disputes the empiricist test for the status of entity of object. Sufficient identity-conditions are satisfied by a much wider range of objects. The concept of meaning is further extended and differentiated in the article by Habermas on speech acts and actions. The notion of communicative action is central to his argument. The study of formalism, by Agazzi, is in an important sense also a study of meaning. Although for the most part developed within mathematics, formal ways of thinking have been a basic tenet within philosophy and science ever since Aristotle. In his article, Ricoeur observes that the present philosophy of history no longer engages in the speculative system building as presented in the philosophy of Hegel, Marx and Toynbee. Our philosophy of history is rather a critical reflection of various issues connected with the transmission of historical meaning.

Henningsen, Manfred: Menschheit und Geschichte. Untersuchungen zu Arnold Joseph Toynbees "A Study of History". München Peter Lang Vlg. 1967. ISBN: 978-3-261-01807-6
Arnold Joseph Toynbee ist mit seinem Werk "A Study of History" als der Universalhistoriker par excellence des 20. Jahrhunderts ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit eingegangen. Einen derartigen Erfolg kann ein Werk nur haben, wenn seine Thematik für allgemeine Probleme der Zeitsituation repräsentativ ist. Dieser repräsentative Charakter der "Study" ist ein Aspekt, den Henningsen in seiner Untersuchung herausgearbeitet hat. Ins Zentrum derselben wurde das Selbstverständnis, das Toynbee von seinem Werk hat, gerückt, und sein Geschichtsdenken wurde von den Erfahrungen her, die für die Genesis und die Ausarbeitung der "Study" konstitutiv gewesen sind, analysiert. Indem er den Zusammenhang von Erfahrung und Geschichte am Falle Toynbee erhellt, kommt Henningsen einem Anliegen von Toynbee entgegen, der bedauert hat, dass keiner seiner Kritiker bisher dem Zusammenhang zwischen Erfahrungsanlässen und Werk nachgegangen sei.
