Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intriguing question of whether history can be elevated to the status of a science. The author argues that it can, but only if we distinguish between two kinds of historical phenomena: institutions and events. Institutions are recurring patterns of behavior, while events are unique occurrences. The author contends that institutions can be scientifically studied because they exhibit regularities that allow us to make generalizations about them. However, events, by their very nature, are unpredictable and defy scientific explanation. The author's analysis has significant implications for how we understand history. It suggests that we should focus less on the unpredictable twists and turns of events and more on the underlying structures and institutions that shape human behavior. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of the past and perhaps even make more informed predictions about the future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243474523_0
