Motivation in History and the Social Sciences /Ramsay MacMullenWarsaw :De Gruyter,2014.©20141 online resource (172 pages)3-11-042727-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Why we do what we do is a matter of great interest to everyone, and everyone seems to have had their say about it - philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, economists, and historians perhaps the most, case by case. Occasionally the specialists have offered their ideas to a general readership, but mostly they prefer to speak to and with their fellows in their particular disciplines.
