This book examines the dispute between historians and natural scientists about the appropriate methodology for studying history, a debate that has raged for over a century. The author traces the development of the natural science method in logic and argues for an alternate logical approach to historical study. By comparing the methods of the natural sciences and historical sciences, the book illustrates how each method seeks to simplify reality for the purpose of comprehension and emphasizes the unique value of historical study in examining subjects that cannot be captured using the scientific method. This book provides scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the philosophy of history with a comprehensive overview of this long-standing debate and offers a fresh perspective on the logic of historical synthesis.
