Is history constantly repeating itself, or is civilization evolving toward a final resolution? It depends on whom you ask. The Meaning of History is a concise yet absorbing look at the meaning of history as interpreted by major historians and philosophers including Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel, and the often-misunderstood Karl Marx. By examing their diverse and sometimes provocative approaches, this book draws challenging conclusions aboutwhere humanity has been and where it is heading. This book explores not just the facts of history but also the personalities and purposes of the people and events that shapted it. Starting in the New Testament and continuing through until today, this book will forever change the way you look at history and your place in it.
