Reviews

“Carl Page has written a thoughtful book about contemporary forms of historicism. Assumptions about historical meaning and the historicity of social practices have become common in much late-twentieth-century work in the social sciences and the humanities, and this ‘first philosophical’ treatment is as readable, provocative, and intelligent an account of the deepest issues as any published in recent years.”—Robert B. Pippin, University of Chicago
