Historism - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Historism is a philosophical and historiographical approach emphasizing the importance of understanding historical contexts and conditions. It posits that each period or culture has its unique values, beliefs, and social structures, which cannot be fully understood or judged outside of their historical context. Historism argues against universal principles, highlighting the relative and subjective nature of knowledge and truth across different historical epochs. | |||
