History and Events

History is usually conceived as events organized in some manner, with chronological order the most basic pattern.  But, that concept misleadingly suggests that there is nothing occurring in between those events, whereas, as is the case in everyday experience, History is constituted as a flux, in which an 'event' is actually more like a salient node than a discrete atom.  Furthermore, an event is internally temporal, i. e. its constituents are themselves organized in some manner.  So, a concept of History must be both inter- and intra-event, and, if there is a distinction between those two, they must be systematically related.  Thus, for example, a Dialectical concept of History, of any variety, by sharply distinguishing its moments, i. e. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, abstracts from actual flux, and, so, as a representation of it, is inadequate to its concreteness.
