Sinossi
Excerpt from History and Materialism, Vol. 10
A subtle form of the historian's use of this principle has been his judgment of absolutism or wealth or progress or general pros perity or anarchy from some assumed standard, naturally the stand ard determined by his Own life and time. Here, instead of the present being a repetition of the past, the past is taken, so to speak, as ideally, if not actually, repeating the present. The past is judged.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of materialism and how it can be found in the study of history. The author argues that materialism is not simply the study of the physical world, but a tendency to treat parts of reality as if they were independent wholes. This can lead to a distorted view of history, in which the role of human agency and the interconnectedness of events is downplayed. The author examines several ways in which materialism can manifest in historical study, including the idea that history repeats itself, the belief in sudden and complete reactions, and the notion of progress as a linear trajectory. The book also discusses the importance of the individual in history, arguing that the personal experience can bridge the gaps between different social classes and historical periods. Ultimately, the author argues that a materialistic approach to history can lead to a loss of perspective and an inability to fully appreciate the complexity and dynamism of human experience.
