L'histoire [French]

By François Dosse

With its focus on the philosophy of history, this title's aim is not to argue for an historical system, nor does it claim to be exhaustive. It seeks to promote a reading of the work of historians by philosophers and of the philosophy of history by historians. Thus the author sets out to revisit the past of the discipline of history. In order to better grasp its meaning, he poses two questions. One concerns historiography, the practice of historians themselves. The other question is speculative and concerns the philosophical tradition of thinking about history. The starting point for this approach is the conceptual framework of the historian's discipline as it has been interrogated by philosophers. But at each stage of his examination the author also draws on the work of historians themselves, from ancient Greece to today's historiography.
