About this title

Synopsis

Presented here is an introduction to the philosophy of history which treats--in a thorough though nontechnical way--such central topics as the possibility of historical knowledge, objectivity, explanation and causation, and values. In discussing these topics, the author takes account of the main writings on history by philosophers and historians alike.

Despite only having gone to school until the third grade, she inspired a love of reading in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
