1. What Is History?
The book explores the nature of historical knowledge, examining the role of the historian in shaping history through the selection and interpretation of facts. It challenges the objective stance of historians, arguing that history is an ongoing dialogue between the past and present, influenced by the societal, political, and personal biases of its narrators. The work delves into the impact of societal structures and the individual agency, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of historical processes and the subjective elements that inevitably enter into the recording of history.
