Methodological Naturalism and Its Consequences Conclusion Notes Works Cited IndexReviewsIn this clear, forceful, and inspiring book, Paul A. Roth sets for himself an audacious task: the revival of philosophy of history and a recalibration of how to understand and account for historical explanation. Roth succeeds and with surgical precision offers a new account of narrative historical explanation that holds its own distinct epistemological and metaphysical factors and yet also aligns with other forms of scientific knowledge. It is an erudite and original work that is essential reading for all scholars invested in understanding our relation to the past and the ways that the histories we write come to impact our present and future. --Ethan Kleinberg, author of Haunting History: For a Deconstructive Approach to the Past Author InformationPaul A. Roth is a distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
