Description
F. R. Ankersmit here for the first time provides a systematic account of his understanding of the nature of historical writing.
"In my view, Frank Ankersmit is the most original and important philosopher of history writing today. There is no question but that he knows this field inside out—he seems to have read virtually everything relevant to it. Even more important, he has an original and extremely stimulating perspective on the object of philosophy of history, namely, the human attempt to come to grips with the past. Meaning, Truth, and Reference in Historical Representation significantly clarifies Ankersmit's views and claims."
Frank Ankersmit is Emeritus Professor of Intellectual History and Philosophy of History at Groningen University. His many books include History and Tropology, Aesthetic Politics, and Sublime Historical Experience.
