History is something more than the story of leaders, wars, economics, and power.
It is the study of persons as social beings, living, working, and playing together. History relates and analyzes events of the past to help explain the changes that have occurred and to aid us in understanding both the past and the present. Philosophy, on the other hand, inquires into the meaning of the facts by searching for principle inferences which determine one's thinking and actions. Philosophy helps one decide what they value. Therefore, in order to understand where and how we, as professionals, are going into the 21st century, one must understand the impact of where we have been and ultimately what we believe in.
