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 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…

IBN khaldun's philosophy of history :A study in the philosophic foundation of…
In no other field has the revolt of modern Western thought against traditional philosophy been so far-reaching in its conse- quences as in the field of history. The case between the ancients and their modern critics in its extreme form can be formulated as follows: For the ancients, historical knowledge is impos- sible; while for their modern critics all knowledge is historical. For the ancient…

History its purpose and method
For every human being the memory of his individual ex- periences is a matter of supreme importance. To it he owes his sense of identity and possibly his consciousness, without it he can take no important decision, he cannot improve his condition, he cannot survive. How does he use it?

Tussen vrees en vrijheid
Veertig maanden is het 'ten geleide' oud, dat de Schrijver zijn vorige bundel meegaf. Zoals daarip zijn voornaamste werk verzameld werd, dat tussen de jaren 1937-41 ontstond, zo vindt de lezer hier het meeste bijeen wat in het lustrum 1047-48 tot stand kwan. In nog hoger mate dan-dit toentertijd het geval was, is ook nu het grootste en, meent hij, belangrijkste deel van deze lezingen en opstell…
