"This book meets three demands of the humanities today:transcending the Western perspective into a universal one;addressing the broad variety of cultures; and reflecting this newapproach conceptually. Thus it gives new answers to the oldquestion: what is history?"
--Jörn Rüsen, Institute for Advanced Study inthe Humanities in Essen
"In this excellent anthology, internationally renownedexperts of historical thinking and writing embed theirpredecessors' ideas in their respective contexts.Furthermore, they convincingly explain the differences betweenpre-modern forms of historical thinking and the conceptualcategories we use today."
--Josef Wiesehöfer, The University of Kiel
