The Primacy of Method in Historical Research: Philosophy of History and the Perspective of Meaning - Paperback

by Jonas Ahlskog (Author)

How does history relate to the past? In contrast to the claim that the past for history is reducible to evidential, psychological, practical and retrospective relations, this book argues that historical relations to the past are irreducible products of the logical commitments of history as method.
