The Activistic Basis of Knowledge 7. The Logical Character of History History in the broadest sense of the term is the totality of human experience. History is experience, and all experience is historical.
History comprehends also all the experience of the natural sciences.
What characterizes the natural sciences as such is the fact that they approach the material of experience with the category of a strict regularity in the succession of events. History in the narrower sense of the term, i.e., the totality of experience concerning human action, must not and does not refer to this category. This distinguishes it epistemologically from the natural sciences. Experience is always experience of the past. There is no experience and no history of the future.
