History
is
the
life
of
nations
and
of
humanity
.
To
seize
and
put
into
words
,
to
describe
directly
the
life
of
humanity
or
even
of
a
single
nation
,
appears
impossible
.
The
ancient
historians
all
employed
one
and
the
same
method
to
describe
and
seize
the
apparently
elusive
--
the
life
of
a
people
.
They
described
the
activity
of
individuals
who
ruled
the
people
,
and
regarded
the
activity
of
those
men
as
representing
the
activity
of
the
whole
nation
.
The
question
:
how
did
individuals
make
nations
act
as
they
wished
and
by
what
was
the
will
of
these
individuals
themselves
guided
?
the
ancients
met
by
recognizing
a
divinity
which
subjected
the
nations
to
the
will
of
a
chosen
man
,
and
guided
the
will
of
that
chosen
man
so
as
to
accomplish
ends
that
were
predestined
.
For
the
ancients
these
questions
were
solved
by
a
belief
in
the
direct
participation
of
the
Deity
in
human
affairs
.
Modern
history
,
in
theory
,
rejects
both
these
principles
.
It
would
seem
that
having
rejected
the
belief
of
the
ancients
in
man
's
subjection
to
the
Deity
and
in
a
predetermined
aim
toward
which
nations
are
led
,
modern
history
should
study
not
the
manifestations
of
power
but
the
causes
that
produce
it
.
But
modern
history
has
not
done
this
.
Having
in
theory
rejected
the
view
held
by
the
ancients
,
it
still
follows
them
in
practice
.
Instead
of
men
endowed
with
divine
authority
and
directly
guided
by
the
will
of
God
,
modern
history
has
given
us
either
heroes
endowed
with
extraordinary
,
superhuman
capacities
,
or
simply
men
of
very
various
kinds
,
from
monarchs
to
journalists
,
who
lead
the
masses
.
Instead
of
the
former
divinely
appointed
aims
of
the
Jewish
,
Greek
,
or
Roman
nations
,
which
ancient
historians
regarded
as
representing
the
progress
of
humanity
,
modern
history
has
postulated
its
own
aims
--
the
welfare
of
the
French
,
German
,
or
English
people
,
or
,
in
its
highest
abstraction
,
the
welfare
and
civilization
of
humanity
in
general
,
by
which
is
usually
meant
that
of
the
peoples
occupying
a
small
northwesterly
portion
of
a
large
continent
.
