The Muse of History and the Science of Culture Hardback
by Robert L. Carneiro
Hardback
Description
Is history more than (in Boswell's words) a `chronological series of remarkable events'?
Does it have a pattern? Is it fraught with `meaning'? Can we discern its trends? What determines its course? In short, can a substantial and coherent philosophy of history be devised that offers answers to these questions?
These issues, which have intrigued -and bedeviled - historians for centuries, are explored in this thoughtful book.
