"A review of the trends of historical thinking from St. Augustine to the present time, interpreted by a master historian. The true function of the historian, according to Dr. Geyl, is to promote the legitimate use and to check the abuse of history. History deals with facts, not imagination. It cannot be made to fit a unified pattern. At best, only an approximation of the real truth abotu the past can be hoped for. Present-day historians are more aware of their distance from the past than their predecessors. They are thus moreable to fulfill the role of elucidating the present and its problems by showing them in perspective." ISBN 9780300136517 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 270.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Historical knowledge, this noted Dutch historian declares, should be a result of free investigation and criticism. Since it deals with facts, not imagination, it cannot be cast into a predetermined mold to fit a unified pattern of arbitrary principles. 'The most we can hope for,' he states, 'is a partial rendering, an approximation, of the real truth about the past.' In this succinct analysis of the philosophy and method of history, Professor Geyl examines the prevailing concepts of history and the new 'awareness of distance' from the past that was lacking in earlier historians. History, he points out, provides an elucidation of the present and its problems by showing them in perspective. This important study of the historical point of view is based on the author's Terry Lecture at Yale.
