A good reading copy. [From review in Philosophical Studies, Vol. 11, 1951/62 by T. Blakeley] Prof. Fackenheim presents us with a well thought out and clearly presented analysis of what might be called the dogmatic bases of historicism in an effort to post out that far from rendering metaphysics relative - as it is often supposed - historicism actually is untenable without a metaphysical justification. The author situates the problem by describing what he calls 'three typically contemporary attitudes' (p.4) which are the results of modern man's dilemma in the presence of several Weltanschauungen of seemingly equal validity or to use the author's words 'with no criterion for choice between them anywhere in sight' (p.3). These attitudes are: skeptical paralysis involving 'the los of capacity for commitment to such as faith;' (p.3); pragmatic make-believe which is pretending to believe; and, ideological fanaticism which is absolute adherence to what one knows is not absolute. The heart of Professor Fackenheim's speculation is contained in the following passage: the doctrine of historicity 'cannot, for example, be regarded as obviously true because proved by empirical history. History may show that man is subject to historical change; it does not prove that his very being is involved in this change. The doctrine of historicity is not an empirical generalization but a metaphysical these. Nor can this metaphysical these be regarded as obviously false. One cannot, for example, fall straightway to refuting it, interns of such traditional concepts as substance and nature. For the doctrine of historicity is unintelligible in these terms and indeed implies their falsehood' (p15). . .
