“But Science — I use the word for the moment in its restricted meaning —
though it may displace the Humanities, could not and cannot replace them, for it cannot provide us with any clear record of how we have developed mentally.
For this we must turn to History, but History not in the sense in which that word is customarily employed as equivalent merely to Political History, nor even in the wider sense of Sociological History.
It is the history of mankind as a whole
that we need, the history of civilization, the history of man's thoughts, of man's knowledge, of man's self.”
