Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A respected introduction to one of the central disciplines of twentieth-century philosophy, William H. Dray's Philosophy of History examines historical explanation, causation, objectivity, interpretation, and the nature of historical knowledge. Written while Dray was a professor at the University of Toronto, the volume became a standard university text and forms part of Prentice-Hall's influential Foundations of Philosophy Series, which also included works by Carl Hempel, Richard Taylor, Sidney Hook, Wesley Salmon, and other leading philosophers. Dray engages with historians and philosophers including R. G. Collingwood, Benedetto Croce, Carl Hempel, Isaiah Berlin, and others in exploring how historians explain human actions and whether objective history is possible. This copy is in Near Fine condition. The book itself is exceptionally clean, with tight binding, sharp corners, clean white pages, and no writing or highlighting observed. No significant tears or losses are present. An excellent collector's copy of a classic philosophy text. The copyright page bears the original 1964 copyright and the publisher's "Current printing (last digit)" line ending in 7, identifying this as the 7th printing of the First Edition. Since no revised edition is indicated, it remains part of the original 1964 edition while representing a later impression. William Herbert Dray (1921-2009) was a Canadian philosopher and historian best known for his pioneering work in the philosophy of history. Educated at the University of Toronto and Oxford, he taught at the University of Toronto and became internationally recognized for challenging purely scientific models of historical explanation. His writings emphasized understanding historical actions through reasons, intentions, and human agency rather than reducing history to universal laws. His work remains widely cited in historiography and analytic philosophy.…
