Historism

"Historicism: The Rise of a New Historical Outlook," by Friedrich Meinecke, originally published in 1936, is a seminal work in the field of historiography and the philosophy of history. In this intellectually rigorous text, Meinecke, a distinguished German historian, explores the development and influence of historicism - the belief that history should be understood as a series of unique events influenced by varying social, political, economic, and cultural factors.
