Series Statement:
Blackwell companions to philosophy ; 41
Content:
The philosophy of historiography examines our representations and knowledge of the past, the relation between evidence, inference, explanation, and narrative. The philosophy of history is the direct philosophical examination of history, whether it is necessary or contingent, whether it has a direction, or whether it is coincidental. The fifty entries in this Companion cover the main issues in the philosophies of historiography and history, including natural history and the practices of historians. Written by an international and multi-disciplinary group of experts, these clearly written entries present a cutting-edge updated picture of current research in the philosophies of historiography and history.
