These essays, however, are not directly concerned with the history of ideas. The views advocated here are broadly in sympathy with the Verstehen approach of those who think that human and non-human aspects of the world do merit different approaches. But there is here no discussion of Vico, Kant, Dilthey, Weber or Collingwood, nor of others working in the Verstehen tradition who have developed and built on their thought. The risk of not exploring the historical dimension of the debate is that we shall reinvent the wheel. Insofar as there is an excuse for running this risk it is that there is always the need to make old and valuable ideas live again by rediscovering them and re-expressing them in an idiom which makes apparent their implications for current problems.
