So what about...

from David J. Staley: Setting out complex theoretical concepts in an accessible and understandable manner and encouraging the reader to consider both the nature and limits of historical imagination, this is an ideal volume for students and scholars of the philosophy of history.

3. "historical imagination" "where tradition meets today"
First, on a neglected question—what is history for?
As an intellectual historian of the premodern world, what struck me the most, as I read through statement after earnest statement on the aims of social studies pedagogy, was the almost complete lack of interest today in what was always the chief rationale for writing and reading history from the time of Herodotus until the blessed advent of the Educational Testing Service in 1947. State departments of education, the National Council for Social Studies, and even the Civics Alliance speak of acquiring reading and writing skills; learning how interpretation is based on sources; learning how to summarize, analyze, and criticize historical accounts; how to gather evidence and evaluate it; how to assess historians’ arguments; how to ask questions, form hypotheses, and test them. All of these are immensely valuable skills, to be sure, but they sidestep the traditional goal of history in the premodern world: acquiring the virtue of prudence or practical wisdom—Aristotle’s phronesis. It’s worth asking why this is the case. After all, practical wisdom is the virtue we most need if our civic life is ever to be restored. https://www.jordanmposs.com/blog/2022/8/12/the-place-of-imagination-in-history
4. "historical imagination" "preserving yesterday"
The Unknown City: Contesting Architecture and Social Space
- Beyond facts:It goes beyond simply memorizing dates and names, requiring an active engagement with historical context and perspectives.Empathy and perspective:It allows us to try to understand the motivations and experiences of people from different times and cultures. Role in storytelling:Historians and writers often use their "historical imagination" to bring the past to life through narrative and creative writing.

abide: to endure without yielding
Ecclesiastes 1:4
"One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever."
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes.
Kingdoms rise and fall, the ground they're built upon is the only constant.

WHY COW LAW SHOULD NOT BE PASSED.
1. For one luckless bovine that steals a cabbage or an apple from a careless grocer, or opens the latchless gate of some improvident citizen, there are hundreds of respectable cows that quietly browse on our back streets without molesting anyone.
2. A sow that behaves badly can be abated like any other nuisance. When there is such a plain resort, would it be wise to punish the innocent in order to suppress the guilty? This anti-republican.
3. Th complaint against marauding; stock comes from those who have no interest in them. The welfare of a whole city is not to be sacrificed for a cabbage. If the drivers of country wagons go off and leave their teams and wagons exposed - contrary to an express law of the city- can they justly invoke the creation of another law to protect them in their lawlessness ; or if a grocer persist in blocking the sidewalk with crates of cabbages where loud scent attracts a foraging animal, is it not just one of the risks which he takes in putting it there?
4. The back streets covered with Bermuda grass is the only valuable freehold of the city.This is open to any family that keeps a cow. To cut off this freehold which has existed from time immemorial would be equivalent to levying a heavy tax upon a portion of our citizens least able to bear it. Many a poor widow, struggling to support a family of fatherless children, finds in this her greatest source of support.
5. Hundreds of dollars annually were lost to the city by the passage of the hog law. There are heaps of garbage in our back streets which those scavengers removed, and which the town cart do not reach. The children yet pine for these delightful spare-rib and tenderloin which their mother prepared, and now it is proposed to take the milk away from the babes and sucklings. The law means less of milk to the poor, and to the rich it means that diseased milk which comes from confining stock in pens and feeding them on artificial food.
6. Apart from any sanitary or local consideration, however, it is impolitic and unstatesmanlike to destroy values, in town without pay-rolls, without industries and struggling for bare existence, it is not best to sacrifice too much to style.
We have had too much of that.
