Broschiert / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XI, 173 Seiten / p. leicht berieben und bestoßen, sonst einwandfreier Zustand / lightly scuffeded and rubbed, otherwise perfect condition - In this work Jacques Barzun presents his credo as a historian, criticizing the "new" techniques and contrasting them with his idea of the true spirit of historical inquiry. He compares the application of technology to historiography with the attempt to rescue Clio the muse from pitiable maidenhood by artificial insemination. -- When Barzun turns to the study of history as it has been carried on for centuries, he defines its role as formative. The study of history is for the cultivation of minds rather than for instruction in facts. Barzun believes that attempts to transform history into a science result from a recurrent but unavailing desire to overcome the uncertainty of the discipline. The spirit of history is intimately tied to the belief that man has no "nature," but an endless number of cultures, expressed in what we classify as government, religion, art, social philosophy, economics, science, myth, and individual psychology -- CONTENTS - Preface - Introduction: Who Are the Doctors? - 1.
