NIKIFOROV, A. L. PURPOSE AND MEANING OF A HISTORICAL EVENT
Abstract:
The author distinguished between historical and ahistorical events. The latter included such natural phenomena as volcanic eruption, flood and eclipse. The author underlined that visible physical activity lacking the intention is not considered as “activity” at all. Speaking of the “purpose” of a historical event, the author meant intentions, desires and goals guiding participants of the event. He also interpreted “meaning” or “significance” as a combination of all its environmental and social consequences.
