ISBN: 9781330713204 出版年：2016 页码：348 Hector Macpherson Forgotten Books

In handling a complex subject like a Century's Intellectual Development, a historical student has two courses open to him. He may content himself with splitting his subject into sections, and dealing with each section in the spirit of a narrator pure and simple. He may, for instance, trace in detail the development of theology, science, philosophy, and literature, leaving to the reader the task of welding the various fragments into a coherent whole.
