The book Origin of History as Metaphysic by Marjorie L. Burke is a scholarly work that explores the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of history as a discipline. The author argues that history is not merely a collection of facts and events, but is instead a complex system of metaphysical beliefs and assumptions that shape our understanding of the past.Burke traces the origins of this metaphysical approach to history back to the ancient Greeks, who saw history as a way to understand the nature of reality itself. She then examines how this approach has evolved over time, as different thinkers and schools of thought have grappled with the nature of history and its relationship to other disciplines such as philosophy, theology, and science.Throughout the book, Burke engages with a wide range of philosophical and historical texts, drawing on thinkers such as Hegel, Nietzsche, Foucault, and Derrida to illuminate her arguments. She also explores the ways in which the metaphysical assumptions of history have been challenged and critiqued by feminist, postcolonial, and other critical approaches.Ultimately, Origin of History as Metaphysic offers a rich and nuanced exploration of the philosophical foundations of history, and invites readers to reconsider their own assumptions about the nature and purpose of historical inquiry.A Critical Examination Of The Notion That History Is Progress, And An Examination Of The Notion Of 'History' Itself. History Is Discussed As A Particular Bias Of Thought Whose Premises Have Come To Be Taken For Granted Because Of The Pressure Of Cultural Sanctions. The Modern World As Time-Motion Is Deduced As An Aberration Of The Greek Idea Of The World As Image.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
