"Empirical reality... becomes nature when we observe it with regard to the general; it becomes history when we observe it with regard to the particular and individual." -- Heinrich Rickert

And, of course, the general is always and everywhere merely an abstraction from the particular and individual. The real world is historical, not theoretical.
