The Great Proliferation Of Historical Writings Regrettably Has Not Illuminated Central Themes Of Modern History, Instead Has Woefully Obscured Them. Moreover, Modern Historical Scholarship, An International Enterprise Which It Has Always Been Is Confronted With A Crisis Because On The One Hand There Is Decreasing Relevance Of Spatial Concept Of Culture As The Barriers Are Collapsing, While On The Other, Increasing Alienation Of Man Has Made History Acquire A Kind Of Mythical Character.
