FROM THE PREFACE:
This work is intended as a study in the history of ideas, and, although a specific theme is pursued, I hope that its total effect will be to shed some light on "historicism", which has been described by Friedrich Meiniche, in his classic Die Entstehung des Historismus (1936), as "the greatest spiritual revolution Western thought has undergone". Although Meinecke's claim has been contested, and the validity of the underlying assumptions of historicism seriously questioned, much of our thinking is still shaped withim the framework of historicism.
Condition:
No dust jacket included with book, ends of spine are very lightly bumped, else a very good to near fine copy.
