Historians, most European, explore both the power of the past over the minds of people in the present, and what features people of the present attribute to the past when they relate themselves to it. Their topics include how meaning came into the world and what became of it, language and historical experience, reinventing tradition between the 18th and 20th centuries, and ruins as a visual expression of historical meaning.

Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condizione: Good. Laminated boards. Previous owner's name to end paper and also scattered areas of highlighted and annotated text, otherwise a very good copy History has always been more than just the past. It involves a relationship between past and present, perceived, on the one hand, as a temporal chain of events and, on the other, symbolically as an interpretation that gives meaning to these events through varying cultural orientations, charging it with norms and values, hopes and fears. And it is memory that links the present to the past and therefore has to be seen as the most fundamental procedure of the human mind that constitutes history: memory and historical thinking are the door of the human mind to experience. At the same time, it transforms the past into a meaningful and sense bearing part of the present and beyond. It is these complex interrelationships that are the focus of the contributors to this volume, among them such distinguished scholars as Paul Ricoeur, Johan Galtung, Eberhard Lmmert, and James E. Young. Full of profound insights into human society pat and present it is a book that not only historians but also philosophers and social scientists should engage with.
