Abstract

In this paper I do three things: I comment on the idea of the “system” of the sciences in relation to Husserl’s work and the role of history within that system; I talk about Seebohm’s approach to history as a science; and I evaluate his idea of the relation between history and the other sciences with respect to his take on the “paradox of subjectivity.”
