Historical Imagination (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the threshold between what historians consider to be proper, imagination-free history and the malpractice of excessive imagination, asking where the boundary between the two sits and the limits of permitted imagination for the historian. It is an ideal volume for students and scholars of the philosophy of history.
