The Presuppositions of Metahistory
In the introductory chapter of his Metahistory, Hayden White explicitly sets forth the main presuppositions underlying that work. If one were to examine these presuppositions in the light of his other writings, one might uncover his reasons for accepting them. Such, however, is not my aim. I shall confine my discussion to certain of the views he explicitly embraces, selecting those which are basic to the aspects of Metahistory I especially wish t…

Anatomy of Historical Knowledge
Originally published in 1977. In this major work, an overview of the structure of historical writing, Maurice Mandelbaum clarifies some of the problems concerning the nature of history as a discipline, of what constitutes explanation in history, and whether historical knowledge is as reliable as other forms of knowledge. The work is divided into three parts. The first part provides an analytic account of different types of historical inquiry. The…

change, and this topic makes its appearance in various of these essays. The second is the question of how historical and critical approaches to works of literature, philosophy, and the arts are related; and that topic, strangely enough, makes its appearance in only one of these essays. I shall therefore be extremely brief in my comments on it. In restricting myself in this way, I shall be neglecting much that is of interest and importance in thos…

A Note on History as Narrative
Among philosophers of it has recently been claimed with increasing frequency that if we are to understand what historians actually do, we should examine what features are characteristic of narratives, and should consider the manner in which a narrative may be said to explain the events included within it. As examples of this view Gallie, Danto, and Morton White may be cited.' Earlier forms of a similar tendency are to be found in Dray's continuou…

The History of Ideas, Intellectual History, and the History of Philosophy
Those who are at present interested in methodological problems of historian of philosophy cannot fail to take note of existence of what has come to be called the history of ideas. The latter term has been used in a variety of senses, sometimes being equated with intellectual history generally.1 However, it is not in that wider sense that I wish to consider it. Instead, I shall in first instance confine my attention to problems which arise out of …

Historical Explanation: The Problem of 'Covering Laws
In recent years the question of what constitutes an historical explanation has probably been more frequently discussed by English and American philosophers than has any other question concerning history. Willam Dray's interesting and influential book, Laws and Explanation in History, is perhaps the focal point for this discussion, and from that book I shall borrow the term using it (as does Dray) to refer to that group of theorists which includes…
The Scientific Background of Evolutionary Theory in Biology
The aim of this paper is to show how a variety of scientific problems, and the solutions proposed concerning them, helped pave the way for the formulation and eventual adoption of the biological theory of evolution. No attempt will here be made to trace the influence of certain more pervasive philosophic doctrines on the development of evolutionary modes of thought.s Nor shall I attempt to treat any one of the scientific problems here discussed i…

A Note on Homans' Functionalism
r VHE PRESENT NOTE seeks to point out certain difficulties in the argument put forward by Homans and Schneider in Mar, riage, Authority, and Final Causes.l It is not my aim to defend the particular theories which these authors attack, nor to challenge the correlations which they have pointed out; in both respects I find myself entirely willing to accept their views. I wish only to suggest that their own view regarding the efficient, operaiive cau…
