Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a part of a series on books and reading, examines the modern conception of history and the scientific method of historical research. The author claims that unlike in the past when history was regarded as a branch of literature, modern historians are concerned with presenting an accurate account of the past. To achieve this, they must be diligent in discovering and examining all possible material, and must have a trained critical faculty to evaluate the material. The author discusses the work of historians like Niebuhr and Ranke in developing this approach. The book sheds light on the importance of impartial historical accounts and the scientific methods used to achieve them, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of history and its role in our understanding of the past.
