Summary
The meaningfulness at issue in history is distinct from the intelligibility that the natural sciences uncover in causal sequences of events. In history, as distinct from nature, the significance of entities is determined by the the world to which they belong (SZ 381). Historical events are “world-historical happenings” (weltgeschichtliches Geschehen; see SZ 19).
