Summary
Charles Seignobos: Comparative history of European nations
Before you is one of those books whose age only confirms its value, because each new generation finds in it great lessons of historical dialectical processes that undoubtedly changed the face of the European continent. Seignobos knew very well that the study of history is one of the most important forms of political education. That is why he tried to give historical science the most concrete possible application in everyday life. He is one of the founders of the French L'École méthodique, a school which, in the best positivist manner, strove to achieve absolute historical objectivity.
Comparative history of European nations deals with the most relevant historical epochs and civilizations of the Old Continent, from Greece and Rome, through Byzantine, and up to the First World War. The author analyzes the clergy and religion, the medieval feudal system, the phenomenon of the Renaissance, cities, crafts and trade, major wars and political turmoil. In this lucid section of great events and turbulences that our continent was richer than others, we will find answers to the causes of many contemporary cultural and political phenomena or at least precisely posed questions that the social sciences, especially history, have yet to answer.
