Krieger, Leonard: Ranke. The Meaning of History

Leopold Ranke is widely regarded as the founder of modern scientific history. Yet he was also a theoretician whose writings suggest deep conflicts between his beliefs and his methods. With the brilliance and subtlety which have characterized all of his scholarship, Leonard Krieger resolves these apparent contradictions by examining Ranke's problematic theories in the context of his personal life and his actual historical work. The discordant confrontations of Ranke's theoretical pronouncements are presented in part one of this study, while part two reveals the integrity of his theories as they are reinterpreted in the context of his personal history and his historical writing. Krieger establishes that integration through history was the central theme both in Ranke's own life and in the historical literature for which posterity remembers him.
