Ivin, P.A. The meaning of history and the definition of determinism.

Abstract: This article provides that neither history, nor social philosophy predefine the laws of development of the society. They are no different from other sciences, which provide for unique non-repeating events and processes. The author thinks that the thought that history is aimed to formulate the laws, which the development of the society is meant to follow is wrong and does not fall within the modern understanding of historical study.
