Historical interpretation

Abraham Kaplan

pp. 27-37

The philosophy of history differs from many other fields of philosophy in this respect, that while its general questions are relatively easy to deal with, specific problems are much more difficult. By contrast, in the philosophy of science, for instance, general questions like the nature and basis of scientific knowledge are still unsettling, while specific problems like the logic of measurement or the relation between physical and mathematical geometry have been dealt with rather well.
