In four impressively researched essays Georg Iggers recounts the transformation of historical studies in Europe during the twentieth century, with particular emphasis on the historiography of the past fifteen years. Although the book does survey a broad area of contemporary historical thought, it is primarily a careful analytical examination of the methodological and theoretical reorientation of certain influential European historians.

The first essay discusses the emergence at German Universities during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of the concept of history as a scientific...

Der Sammelband tragt Mosaiksteinchen zu einem in sich widerspruchlichen Bild des facettenreichen intellektuellen Lebens der Weimarer Republik zusammen. Dabei wird die problembezogene Ubersetzung verschiedener intellektueller Sprachen und Disziplinen in- und durcheinander versucht. Bei aller Verschiedenheit solcher Denker wie Mannheim, Junger, Scheler, Schmitt oder Benn geraten immer wieder intellektuelle Reaktionen auf zeitgeschichtliche Probleme und Konflikte der Weimarer Republik in den Blick. Sowohl konzeptionelle und politische Polarisierungen als auch der nach Kriterien einer "political...

The present book constitutes an attempt to contribute to the study of the intellectual roots of modem totalitarianism. It is not intended to duplicate the several works on the history of the Saint-Simonian movement, including the excellent study by Charlety, or the large periodical literature on various phases of Saint-Simonian economic, literary, aesthetic, feminist, and pacifist thought. Rather it analyzes systematically for the first time the political ideas of the Saint-Simonians and their social and cultural implications. In contrast to previous studies, this book utilizes extensively...

In this book, now published in 10 languages, a preeminent intellectual historian examines the profound changes in ideas about the nature of history and historiography. Georg G. Iggers traces the basic assumptions upon which historical research and writing have been based, and describes how the newly emerging social sciences transformed historiography following World War II. The discipline's greatest challenge may have come in the last two decades, when postmodern ideas forced a reevaluation of the relationship of historians to their subject and questioned the very possibility of objective...

This is the first comprehensive critical examination in any language of the German national tradition of historiography. It analyzes the basic theoretical assumptions of the German historians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and relates these assumptions to political thought and action.
The German national tradition of historiography had its beginnings in the reaction against the Enlightenment and the French Revolution of 1789. This historiography rejected the rationalistic theory of natural law as universally valid and held that all human values must be understood within the...

Marxist Historiographies is the first book to examine the ebb and flow of Marxist historiography from a global and cross-cultural perspective. Since the eighteenth century, few schools of historical thought have exerted a more lasting impact than Marxism, and this impact extends far beyond the Western world within which it is most commonly analysed.

Edited by two highly respected authors in the field, this book deals with the effect of Marxism on historical writings not only in parts of Europe, where it originated, but also in countries and regions in Africa, Asia, North...

Leopold von Ranke, who was born in 1795, is considered to be one of the founders of the modern practice of writing history. This collection focuses on the relationship between history and religion together with his inaugural lecture of 1836 'On the Relation and Difference between History and Politics'.

The first book on historiography to adopt a global and comparative perspective on the topic, A Global History of Modern Historiography looks not just at developments in the West but also at the other great historiographical traditions in Asia, the Middle East, and elsewhere around the world over the course of the past two and a half centuries.

Die Aufsatze gehen aus einer Tagung hervor, die im 1996 in Gottingen stattfand. Sie geben einer grossen Vielfalt von Perspektiven Raum. West- und ostdeutsche Wissenschaftler der unterschiedlichen Generationen und methodischen Ansatze kommen dabei zu Wort. Innen- und Aussensicht, innerdeutsche Nahe und transatlantische Distanz bildeten den Rahmen, in dem sich die Diskussion bewegt. Neue Quellen und innovative Ansatze fuhren zu einem tieferen Verstandnis der Widerspruchlichkeit ostdeutscher Geschichtswissenschaft. Indem vereinfachende Polarisierungen zwischen amerikanischen und deutschen,...
