Index


"This lucid and well-ordered analysis and argument is without doubt the most important study of the theoretical problems connected with historical understanding that has appeared in this country. Professor Mandelbaum is master of the large literature on the logic and methodology of historiography produced on the Continent in the last generation. He can relate these views on history with clarity and simplicity to the more general philosophic positions of their proponents.`

`Dr. Mandelbaum defines the historical enterprise as the attempt to give a descriptive analysis of that which actually occurred,` i.e., to achieve `objective knowledge of the past.` Since various schools of historical relativism have engendered a widespread skepticism regarding the possibility of such objective historical knowledge, the historical enterprise itself, so defined, stands in need of defense.... This work is clear and thoughtful, meticulously logical, temperate in its mood, and conscientiously fair to the positions of the relativists. It includes a useful and original analysis of the positions of outstanding relativists and counter-relativists.... [and] is an interesting and valuable attempt to settle an important problem."
