Description
This volume investigates the different attitudes of historians and other social scientists to questions of causality. It argues that historical theorists after the linguistic turn have paid surprisingly little attention to causes in spite of the centrality of causation in many contemporary works of history.
The book examines the implications of this oversight for our understanding of historical events and processes, and explores ways in which historians can better incorporate causal analysis into their work.
