«Cuatro visiones de la Historia Universal» is the historical and philosophical essay by José Ferrater Mora, published by Alianza in paperback (107 pages).
The essay examines all-encompassing conceptions that understand universal history as a process charged with meaning, not as a mere accumulation of facts. José Ferrater Mora analyses the approaches of Saint Augustine, Vico, Voltaire and Hegel and highlights the moral ideal that animates each of these systems of historical interpretation.
The work was originally published in 1971; this Alianza edition dates from 1982.
Aimed at readers of history and philosophy interested in the great conceptions about the meaning of the past.
