Abstract

As I have maintained from the outset, my aim has been to provide a philosophical analysis of historical inquiry that has clear practical applications for practitioners such as historians, political scientists and policy makers. Nevertheless, the argument of this book has, of necessity, been wide ranging and, at times, fairly technical. Therefore, I want to use this final chapter to provide an overview that, through reiteration and concentration, may serve to clarify and crystallize my argument and its practical significance.
