Evidence

The concept that each nation has its own distinctive “world-view” is transposed, in History and Class Consciousness , into the notion that each class has its “objective” world-view. The lingering presence of this concept thus accounts, in part, for the radical historicism of that text. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 330
