Philosophies of History: a Historiography Reader from Herodotus to the 21st Century

A new kind of historiography text: it is comprehensive in the time periods it covers, it includes sources of sufficient length to encounter in the rough the philosophical ideas of the authors, and it is curated with definitions of key terms and ideas for a reader who has no previous introduction to the philosophical traditions on which historical theorists build. It regroups 51 of the most relevant Western and non-Western passages illustrating the ways historians have been recording and analyzing events that happened in the past. This 550-page reader is printed in full color, with many illustrations relevant to the material presented.
