Religion and the Rise of History

Meer over het boek

This intellectual history uniquely applies Otto Hintze's model-building methodology to Western historical thought, offering a fresh perspective on historiography. It presents concise models that facilitate understanding and teaching of classical, Christian, and modern professional approaches to history, aligning with R. G. Collingwood's concept of "The Idea of History." The book serves as both a historical inquiry and a synthesis, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the evolution of historical thought.
