A short history of civilization
WHOEVER would seek the origin of things that in countless ways control mankind begins an arduous task. One can readily tell when the radio, motion picture, airplane, or automobile appeared, for he well remembers the time he saw the first of these or at least can talk with people who saw the first ones. But it is more difficult to imagine the days when the internal-combustion engine was produced…

The Use of history
In recent years, European and American historians of Asia have spoken increasingly of the need to avoid Euro-centric views of Asian history. The need, they have observed, is to write from an Asian point of view. The history written by European colonial officials about native peoples and imperial governments has obviously had its day. Although there were some notable exceptions, such authors wer…

A study of history
Tr torical study which would be intelligible themselves within their own limits of space and time, without reference to extraneous historical events. The search for these self-contained units led us to find them in Societies of the species we called Civilizations, and so far we have been working on the assumption that a comparative study of the geneses, growths, breakdowns, breakdowns, and disi…

Het onvoltooid verleden
De titel, met zijn toestemming ontleend aan, een bundel van de dichter Binnendijk, is nochtans geen literair ornament. Niet alleen, dat ik er het concretiserend lidwoord aan heb toege- voegd, maar ik acht er, wat meer zegt, ook de gedachte in uit gedrukt, waaromheen deze studies en critieken zich min of meer kristalliseren tot een, zij het onafgerond geheel. Deze gedachte n.l., dat het verleden…

The shaping of modern thought
This is a book about the world views of men in our Western tradition, the ideas they have held and still hold on the Big Questions-cosmological questions, which ask whether the universe makes sense in terms of human capacity to comprehend and, if so, what kind of sense; theological and metaphysical questions, which ask further questions about purpose and design of the universe, and about man's …

The philosophy of history in our time
The writing of history is an ancient and honorable pro- fession. What is more, like the arts and unlike the sciences, it reached a degree of perfection early in the ancient world which, in a sense, it has never surpassed. Thucydides is as supreme a figure in the art of history as Sophocles in the art of tragedy. Only science and technology have pro- gressed, steadily, encouragingly, and frighte…

Historical consciousness or the remembered past
For some time I have been interested in the changing fortunes of the adjective old-fashioned. I find it significant that this adjective has by now shed all of its pejorative associations. For example, the Oxford English Dictionary shows that a century ago old-fashioned had a wide currency in the sense of a child having the ways of a grown-up person, hence, precocious, knowing." Dickens would ha…
