About this title

Book Description

A reissue of a classic work, first published in 1933, which is a distinguished contribution to problems of philosophy of history and an acute reflection on the nature and distinctive features of different types of knowledge.

From the Back Cover

This classic work, first published in 1933, is here published for the first time in paperback in recognition of its enduring importance. Its theme is Modality: human experience recognized as a variety of independent, self-consistent worlds of discourse, each the invention of human intelligence, but each also to be understood as abstract and an arrest in human experience. The theme is pursued in a consideration of the practical, the historical and the scientific modes of understanding.
