Summary/Abstract: I am grateful to Eugen Zeleňák for belatedly focusing attention on and thus perhaps renewing wider interest in my book, Frank Ankersmit’s Lost Historical Cause (see Icke 2012) through his eight page review of it recently published in this journal (see Zeleňák 2014). Nevertheless, I remain somewhat bothered by and more than a little perplexed by his style of argumentation which alights everywhere on the book’s relatively minor points while skipping over, or omitting entirely, the vital points about which its central argument turns.
