Culture and history :Prolegomena to the comparative study of civilizations
T HE 'philosophy of history' is the term customarily used to designate those general and somewhat vague speculations about the pattern and meaning of historical events in which historians, philosophers and even theologians occasionally indulge. As the term itself shows, this is a branch of human thought which has not yet emerged from the womb of philosophy, philosophy, it has not yet become a separate science or intellectual discipline with its own concepts and its own rules. Like psychology a hundred years ago or physics before Aristotle, it has remained essentially a branch of philosophy, speculative rather than empirical in its approach, closely dependent on metaphysical presuppositions rather than on observations of fact
