Biographical History: Microcosm of Meaning and Mankind.
Johns, Robert W.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v12 n3 p35-60 Fall 1984
A conceptual framework and teaching guidelines for biographical history, i.e., centering the study of history in individual lives, are presented. Both the framework and guidelines were derived from a group of philosopher-historians representing a full monistic-pluralistic spectrum of theories: Marx, Weber, Toynbee, Ortega y Gasset, and Dilthey.
