Historical Theory

Viac o knihe

Challenging both naive empiricism and postmodernism, Mary Fulbrook presents a compelling argument about the theoretical questions historians must address. She emphasizes that merely presenting facts is insufficient, as historical narratives are not arbitrary inventions but rather interpretations that can vary in plausibility. By examining key theoretical issues and employing substantive examples, this work serves as a vital resource for understanding the complexities of historical representation and the ongoing debates surrounding the nature of history.
