- Title
Moral Forces, Philosophy of History, and War in José Rizal.
- Authors
GUILLERMO, RAMON
- Abstract
This article attempts to reconstruct an aspect of José Rizal's interpretation of history from some fragmentary remarks in the important essay "The Philippines a Century Hence" (1889-1890). It argues that previous efforts to arrive at such an understanding have been hampered by a lack of attention to the categories that Rizal himself used in that work. Employing the method of conceptual concordance, the study proposes that a possible source for Rizal's historical categories may ultimately be traced to the tradition of German historicism and, in particular, to the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz.
