Why Bother with History? - Beverley C. Southgate - Bog

- Ancient, Modern and Postmodern Motivations

Bag om Why Bother with History?

Using examples from antiquity to the present, this timely and relevant volume argues for an increasingly important role for a revitalised historical study. Examining the motivations of past historians, the author rejects the ancient aspiration to a 'history for its own sake' and argues that historians' importance lies in their own adoption of a moral standpoint. Inevitably controversial, in that it challenges many of the assumptions of modernist history, this is an interdisciplinary book, which draws in particular on psychology and literature.
