Krátky popis
An experienced, multi-faceted historian shows how revisionist
history is at the heart of creating historical knowledge
&,nbsp, ",A rallying cry in favor of historians who, revisiting
past subjects, change their minds. . . . Rewarding
reading.",–Kirkus Reviews &,nbsp, ",A wise, erudite, and,
perhaps most important, a clearly written examination of the ways
historians go about their craft of interpreting and reinterpreting
the past.",–Gordon S. Wood, Brown University &,nbsp, History is
not, and has never been, inert, certain, merely factual, and beyond
reinterpretation. Taking readers from Thucydides to the origin of
the French Revolution to the Civil War and beyond, James M. Banner,
Jr., explores what historians do and why they do it. &,nbsp,
Banner shows why historical knowledge is unlikely ever to be
unchanging, why history as a branch of knowledge is always a search
for meaning and a constant source of argument, and why history is
so essential to individuals' awareness of their location in the
world and to every group and nation's sense of identity and
destiny. He explains why all historians are revisionists while they
seek to more fully understand the past, and how they always bring
their distinct minds, dispositions, perspectives, and purposes to
bear on the subjects they study.
