Produktbeschreibung
In this study, I have simultaneously tried to depict the epistemological conditions of making history from Renaissance to nowadays, and to present a history of the main ideas of Western civilization. In my view, the ways of making historical knowledge are created by exigencies, games and fights and the leading role in this process is that of sight s sense, which organizes the knowledge due to the methods and techniques of interpretation and representation. You can read in this book about the conceptions of the historical knowledge, which were developed by the most important thinkers of Western civilization, such as Machiavelli, Bodin, F. Bacon, Descartes, Hume, Vico, Schleiermacher, Voltaire, Herder, Fichte, Hegel, Gibbon, Michelet, Carlyle, Comte, Marx, Ranke, Tocqueville, Dilthey, Nietzsche, Bradley, F. J. Turner, Croce, Burckhardt, Huizinga, Wittgenstein, Popper, A. O. Lovejoy, R. G. Collingwood, Hempel, von Wright, Dray, Foucault and Annales historians, Linguistic Turn andHayden White, Begriffgeschite and Koselleck. The book can be perceived as a Weltanschauung of Western (historical) knowledge.
