Since at least KANT we should know, that we are encapsulated in our consciousness: We are perhaps in this world, perhaps not - we cannot know; but we know, that the world is in us.
As a result History is - as the Greek terminus ("historia" = "[all] knowledge") demonstrates already - the only real science, because we aren't angels, ahistorical&pure essences thrown into history; we do not have history, we are history (although we are not only history): "I am I and my condition." (GOMEZ DAVILA)
Every historian is obviously an AutoBiographer; a good historian is not an aseptic nonpartisan flaneur; it's someone, who is able to incorporate as a whole "the suffering and fighting homo" (BURCKHARDT).
The corpus, that incorporated best the wholeness of human consciousness (by being even an antithetic echo of all aberrations) was the Roman-Catholic Church.
