"Why History?" is a compelling introduction to the issue of history and ethics. Designed to provoke discussion, the book asks whether and why a good knowledge and understanding of the past is desirable. In the context of current postmodern thinking, Keith Jenkins suggests that the goal of "learning lessons from the past" actually means learning lessons from stories written by historians and others. If the past as history has no foundation, can anything ethical be gained from history?
Daring and controversial, "Why History?" presents liberating challenges to history and ethics, proposing that we have reached an emancipatory moment which is well beyond the "end of history."
