Johann Gustav Droysen on Purposes - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 218 Purposes/History/Droysen/Gadamer: Freedom is the basic pulse of historical life, and not only in exceptional cases real. The Gadamer I 219 great personalities of history are but a moment in the progress of the moral world, which as a whole and in each individual is a world of freedom. Against historical apriorism, he agrees with Ranke that we cannot see the goal, but only the direction of the movement. The purpose of the purpose to which the restless work of historical humanity is related cannot be discerned through historical knowledge (§§ 80-86)(1). It is only the object of our supposition and belief. The position of historical knowledge now corresponds to this image of history. >Freedom/Droysen, >Recognition/Droysen. 1.J.G.
