Theory and History of Historiography (revised Edition)
by K
About This Novel
This book is a representative work of Croce's historical theory, revised (or translated) based on the 2007 national edition of Croce's works. The first part discusses the theory of history, first strictly distinguishes between history and chronology, and then draws the boundaries between true history and various pseudo-history (linguistic history, poetic history, oratory history, practical history, and tendency history), and puts forward the famous assertion that "all history is contemporary history." The following part reviews the history of history, from Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, positivist historiography, to the "new historiography" of the 19th century. In addition, 23 notes and comments covering theoretical points in the book are also included. The book has profound thoughts, vivid language and far-reaching influence. It is a Western classic that is both theoretical and readable.
