Confession before 1215
Alexander Murray
Because research calls for work, and work specialisation, the study of history tends always to subdivide. The deepest its subdivisions is that between ‘outer’ ‘inner’: things like war, politics, business law on one side, other, thoughts emotions. ‘History’ tout simple has come thus refer mainly external, usually handled in past by men, while from side this Adam have sprung separate disciplines with names die ideas, or mentalites,—not mention literatures various languages. A glance even at buildings a university will confirm this.
