Why do historians so often talk about objectivity, empathy, and
fair-mindedness? What roles do such personal qualities play in
historical studies? And why does it make sense to call them virtues
rather than skills or habits? Historians' Virtues is the first
publication to explore these questions in some depth. With case
studies from across the centuries, the Element identifies major
discontinuities in how and why historians talked about the marks of
a good scholar. At the same time, it draws attention to long-term
legacies that last until today. Virtues were, and are, invoked in
debates over the historian's task. They reveal how historians
position themselves vis-a-vis political regimes, religious
traditions, or neoliberal university systems. More importantly,
they show that historical study not only requires knowledge and
technical skills, but also makes demands on the character of its
practitioners. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
