| A historian looks at both the philosophy and meaning of history in this attempt to encourage an open dialogue of ideas
concerning the study of man's past. Certain questions are asked -- whether man can accurately remember his past or ever be able to forget it; whether history is an autonomous branch of learning with resultant epistemological problems; where or how we should look for meaning in history; what use or value history has for us -- which students are encouraged to answer for themselves. The author feels that in trying to answer these questions students will develop a foundation for the
self-conscious study of history. |
