Note:The first chapter traces the historical relationship of philosophy to history, and introduces some of the issues which have emerged in the philosophical tradition in general which beear most directly on the efforts of historians.... In the nine remaining chapters the strategy of the authors has been to focus on nine major themes which have emerged in philosophy of history. Each chapter begins with a critical introduction followed by a selection of original texts. These have in many cases been edited to make them more comprehensible to students, who are warned that the originals, which it is hoped they will eventually explore, are frequently more difficult to digest." -- Preface
