Reviews

These essays represent the mature reflections of a genuinely unique philosopher of history. Goldstein's sensitivity to the special challenges of historical knowledge lead him to unfold the tensions and openness of the concepts that define such knowing. Taken together, these essays represent a sustained effort to save - and to respect - the difficult knowledge that belongs to, and can come from, history. The introduction and foreword do a wonderful job of presenting Goldstein's very real contributions. -- Dennis J. Schmidt, Pennsylvania State University
