ISBN10: 0226239101, ISBN13: 9780226239101, [publisher: Chicago: University of Chicago Press] Hardcover 368 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lightly scuffed dust jacket. Otherwise in perfect condition. - Content: History casts a spell on our minds more powerful than science or religion. It does not root us in the past at all. It rather flatters us with the belief in our ability to recreate the world in our image. It is a form of self-assertion that brooks no opposition or dissent and shelters us from the experience of time. So argues Constantin Fasolt in The Limits of History an ambitious and path-breaking study that conquers history’s power by carrying the fight into the center of its domain. Fasolt considers the work of Hermann Conring (1606-81) and Bartolus of Sassoferrato (1313/14-57), two antipodes in early modern battles over the principles of European thought and action that ended with the triumph of historical consciousness. Proceeding according to the rules of normal historical analysis — gathering evidence, putting it in context, and analyzing its meaning — Fasolt uncovers limits that no kind of history can cross. He concludes that history is a ritual designed to maintain the modern faith in the autonomy of states and individuals. "God wants it," the old crusaders would have said. The truth. Fasolt insists, only begins where that illusion ...
