Philosophy and history — an introduction
pp. 1-12
in: , Modern philosophy of history, Berlin, Springer, 1970Abstract
The specific aim of this study is to explore the significance of the philosophy of history. My own concern with this issue arose from and returns to the question of what is philosophy itself. Such a question might seem to be posterior to philosophizing as an activity, but in fact we must see it as a constant and necessary question for philosophy. The question what is philosophy is not a question about philosophy but is philosophy itself. It is philosophy itself and no super-science that asks this question.
