Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carr's purpose is to outline a distinctively phenomenological approach to history. History is usually associated with social existence and its past, and thus his inquiry focuses on our experience of the social world and of its temporality. How does history bridge the gap which separates it from its object, the past? Against this background a phenomenological approach, based on the concept of experience, can be proposed as a means of solving this problem, or at least addressing it in a way that takes us beyond the notion of a gap between present and past.
