Storical materialism



That's why I would propose Storical Materialism (or, less
neologically, narrative materialism) as a corrective to the
pretensions of Historical Materialism. Such Storical Materialism could
admit the class struggle theory of history as a hypothesis without
positing it as the foundation of historical explanation.

CB; Interesting idea, but isn't the class struggle in the "materialism"
part, not the "historical" part ? The "historical" part already includes or
_is_ sort of "storical". If you use "materialism" , you are positing class
struggle as a foundation of historical explanation.   Maybe "Hypothetical
materialism".
