Human Nature and Historical Knowledge: Hume, Hegel and Vico
Pompa, Leon (University of Birmingham)
This book is about the presuppositions of historical knowledge. It rejects the view, held by Hume, Hegel and Vico, that historical knowledge presupposes a theory of human nature, in favour of the view that the discovery of new historical knowledge assumes the inheritance of a body of knowledge sufficient to constitute a determinate sense of the past.
