The following is in no way intended to be a com-
plete list of the material available oh the authors included in the
readings. Periodical articles and foreign-language books have been
omitted, simply because their inclusion would have increased the
list beyond all reasonable size for a brief book.

There are only three books of readings in philosophy of history:
F. Stern, The Varieties of History ( 1957), H. Meyerhoff, The Philos-
ophy of History in Our Time ( 1959) and P. Gardiner, Theories of
History ( 1959). Stern, whose emphasis is more on historiography than
on philosophy of history, begins with Voltaire. Gardiner, who is a
philosopher, begins with Vico. Meyerhoff's selections are mostly con-
temporary. All three have excellent introductions.

Three good introductory books to the field are W. H. Walsh, An
Introduction to Philosophy of History ( 1951), R. G. Collingwood,
The Idea of History ( 1949), and K. Löwith, The Meaning of History
( 1949). Walsh, a philosopher, analyzes concepts, particularly "specu-
lative" and "critical." Colhngwood is a historian who turned philos-
opher; his book is the best history of philosophy of history in English,
