Excerpt from The Processes of History The question Is History a science? Has now been debated by successive generations of histo rians without any general agreement having been reached. It would seem, therefore, that in some particular the problem had been wrongly stated. Hence, following the critique presented in my Prolegomena to History, I have approached the whole matter from a new angle by asking what sort of results might be obtained by a strict appli cation of the method of science to the facts of his tory. The outcome of this procedure, stated in general terms, is an attempt to do for human his tory what biologists are engaged in doing for the history of the forms of life, and this publication offers in summary form a first analysis of the fac tors and processes manifested in the history of man.
