From an author at the forefront of research in this area comes this
provocative and seminal work that presents a unique and fresh new
look at history and theory. Taking a broadly European view, the
book draws on works of French and German philosophy, some of which
are unknown to the English-speaking world, and Martin L. Davies
spells out what it is like to live in a historicized world, where
any event is presented as historical as, or even before, it
happens. Challenging basic assumptions made by historians, Davies
focuses on historical ideas and thought about the past instead of
examining history as a discipline. The value of history in and for
contemporary culture is explained not only in terms of cultural and
institutional practices but in forms of writing and representation
of historical issues too. Historics stimulates thinking about the
behaviours and practice that constitute history, and introduces
complex ideas in a clear and approachable style. This important
text is recommended not only for a wide student audience, but for
the more discerning general reader as well.
