Ricoeur proposes a theoretical model of this circle using Augustine's theory of time and Aristotle's theory of plot and, further, develops an original thesis of the mimetic function of narrative. He concludes with a comprehensive survey and critique of modern discussions of historical knowledge, understanding, and writing from Aron and Mandelbaum in the late 1930s to the work of the Annales school and that of Anglophone philosophers of history of the 1960s and 1970s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This work, in my view, puts the whole problem of narrative, not to mention philosophy of history, on a new and higher plane of discussion.\"--Hayden White, \u003ci\u003eHistory and Theory \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Superb. . . .
