Translation of "Ahistorisch" in English

Some critiques maintain that history is too asociological and sociology too ahistorical.

Sikhumbuzo Mngadi has called the belief that one can distinguish between "European" and "African" concepts of universities a new exoticism and as naively ahistorical, even if it is true that these European institutions have been changed more or less by the cultures outside of Europe which appropriated them.

In contrast to 'pure' academic research, which is often found in mainstream economics (highly stylized, ahistorical), FCN's aim is to explicitly account for the technological basis and its change and, wherever possible, socio-economic aspects.

But it would be churlish and ahistorical to separate what is happening to the Kenyan four .

It's clear that Kantian universalism and thus its subject philosophy are theoretical limiting concepts, and in this are completely ahistorical (as Feuerbach famously observed).

To view the classic bourgeois-democratic revolutions as a template for all subsequent capitalist development—as did the Mensheviks in their stagist schema for tsarist Russia, and subsequently Stalin/Bukharin in the case of the semicolonial countries—is ahistorical and undialectical.

Among the alternatives to this problematic approach that have emerged is the concept of cultural transfer, which includes the critique that historical comparisons in the social sciences tend to homogenize (nation-) states in an essentialist way, to draw sharp artificial distinctions between them, and to freeze them at a particular moment in time in an ahistorical manner for the sake of comparing them, in order to analyse their similarities and differences.

Through their presentation, repetition and the seemingly ahistorical technique, these actually rather banal and contemporary scenes appear as remarkably exotic and fascinating as an ethnographic collection from a long-lost era.

There is, however, one pleasant surprise: Deborah Lipstadt, in an overview revised for this release, declares that the use of the Holocaust for political purposes, including the question of the Allied failure to bomb Auschwitz, is "ahistorical" – which fairly well sums up the nature of this flawed book.

About the reviewer

Lastly, we note that it is somewhat misleading and ahistorical to say that “the failure of the Bolshevik Party to explicitly recognize the vindication of Trotsky’s theory of permanent revolution by the October Revolution and the failure to explicitly repudiate the ‘democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasantry’ then became a conduit for the forces later posturing as the Bolshevik ‘old guard’ (e.g. Stalin) to attack Trotsky” (Point 10). In the first place, it was generally acknowledged in the Bolshevik Party during the period of Lenin’s leadership that the revolution had conformed to Trotsky’s theory of permanent revolution and the congruent perspective advanced by Lenin in his “April Theses” of 1917.

Furthermore, in the 20th century newer natural scientific disciplines replaced older human sciences when it came to understanding human thought and its processes. While the classical, antique understanding – through all its historical changes – primarily saw mind as static and ahistorical, that is to say subtracted from the changing forms of human culture, modern and postmodern theory (from evolutionary biology to gender theory) saw it increasingly as product of this change.
