Collections of essays surveying the historical discipline at the
end of the 1970s heralded the new approaches being developed,
approaches that promised a rich diversity and cosmopolitan
pluralism in the face of the uncertainty of historical reality. The
essayists in this volume, surveying the work of the 1980s, find
that these new approaches have not brought satisfactory results,
and argues that traditional practices, reassessed and properly
understood, constitute the true scientific grounding of the
discipline. Understood rationally, historical sources and causal
strategies can be managed objectively. In brief, a truthful account
of the past is possible, but it must be both objective and
subjective. This work is intended for use by departments of history
(courses on historiography, intellectual history) and sociology.
