2 Its distrust of (narrativist) holism prevents current philosophy from understanding historical narrative. 3. The most crucial and most interesting intellectual challenges facing the historian are found on the level of historical writing (selection, interpretation, how to see the past). The historian is essentially more than Collingwood's detective looking for the murderer of John Doe. 4. Since it deals only with the components of historical narrative, philosophy of action can never further our insight into historical narrative.
Narrative interpretations in this regard resemble the models used by fashion designers for showing the qualities of their gowns and dresses. Language is used for showing what belongs to a world different from it. 1. Narrativism is a constructivism not of what the past might have been like, but of narrative interpretations of the past. 2. Narrative interpretations are Gestalts . 2. Logically, narrative interpretations are of the nature of proposals (to see the past from a certain point of view).
Returning to this side of the Atlantic, I am no less grateful for the advice that I received from my closest colleagues here in Groningen: Josine Blok, Jaap den Hollander, Ernst Kossmann, and Wessel Krul, and from Ann Rigney in Utrecht. For the enrichment of my intellectual background, I owe my gratitude to the members of the Amsterdam group, led by Theo de Boer, for the Foundations of the Humanities. Anthony Runia has protected the text from the dangers occasioned by my uncertain and limited grasp of the English language.
