Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Synthesis
Not only does historical science select the facts important for the whole, instead of those common to all not only does it treat these units as parts of a complex whole instead of examples under a law; but it traces the causal connection between the facts. How can it trace causal connection without discovering laws and thus applying the method of the natural science? The confusion here is due to another misunderstanding as fundamental as those touch ing the selecting and grouping of the facts. Causality as a principle.
