The development of historiography
Our discussion has already suggested that history is not a study isolated from other disciplines. The influence of the ideas of ethics and the presence of the historian's point of view really belong to philosophy. The literary excellence of a few histories gives them a place in literature. It follows that the history of historiography stands as a parallel to the history of literature and the history of philosophy and impinges upon both. Not only in such massive works as Spengler's Decline of the West, a book saturated with philosophy, are history and philosophy bed-fellows, but the very urge to study the past and to under stand it is akin to the urge of the philosopher to understand reality. The interplay between history and philosophy cannot be avoided without impover ishing both.rn
