Publisher's Synopsis
""Origin of History as Metaphysic"" is a book written by Marjorie L. Burke that explores the relationship between history and metaphysics. The author argues that history is not just a collection of facts and events, but rather a way of understanding the world and our place in it. She delves into the origins of history as a discipline and how it has been influenced by metaphysical beliefs throughout history. Burke also examines the role of language and narrative in shaping historical understanding and argues that the way we tell stories about the past can have a profound impact on our present and future. This thought-provoking book offers a unique perspective on the study of history and its relationship to philosophy and metaphysics.A Critical Examination Of The Notion That History Is Progress, And An Examination Of The Notion Of 'History' Itself.
