Description
Why History? A History explores two and a half thousand years of historianship to understand how different thinkers have conceived their activities and the purposes that their historical investigations have served.
The study of history has been shaped by various changes in technique and philosophy, yet striking long-term continuities remain in justifications for the discipline. This book reveals how the present has been conceived to relate to the past, shedding light on the enduring nature of historical inquiry.
