Résumé anglais H. Brunschwig— ~~A New Concept of History ? ~~A criticism of the marxist approach and a defence of the classical concept of objective history, free from philosophical pre-conceptions. While economy is an important factor, it is but one factor amongst others. The use of a priori models introduces a bias which in the more extreme cases may well resuit into anachronism, i. e. the very negation of History. Erudition, as wide and deep as possible, remains the first end and main prerequisite of historical research, before any attempt at more general constructs, such as systematic period definition.
