	Franz Oppenheimer: History and Sociology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A science of history aimed essentially at the individual cannot possibly conceive the notion of seeking the laws of history (unless it be to feel out instinctively the divine plan of salvation working itself out in it), for there can be no law of the individual.
		But sociology in its first representatives proceeded from the philosophy of western Europe, which was oriented in mathematics and natural science, and took its beginning in Descartes; it was therefore as a matter of course intent on conformity to law, and from its collectivistic standpoint could well hope to be able to find such lawfulness.
		According to that, the writing of history ceases to be the opponent of sociology and becomes its subject of study.
