Until recently almost all histories of historiography have focused on national developments or at best introduced a comparative note from a limited Western perspective. Only in the last few years have there been serious attempts to transcend these borders. The present volume examines turning points in historical thought in a variety of cultures. The essays in the first half of the book deal with fundamental reorientations in historical thinking in the pre-modern period since Antiquity, specifically in ancient Greece and China and in medieval Christian Europe, the Islamic world and again...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...
