Historical Knowledge, Historical Error A Contemporary Guide to Practice by Allan Megill

Historical Knowledge, Historical Error A Contemporary Guide to Practice by Allan Megill

Historians have chronicled language, madness, gender, and sexuality and have experimented with fresh forms of presentation. This work suggests that there is confusion among historians about what counts as a justified account of the past. It dispels some of the confusion, and also discusses issues of narrative, objectivity, and memory.

"Historical Knowledge, Historical Error represents a major and much-needed intervention in the debates that have engaged historians and philosophers of history in the last two or three decades... Megill's argument deserves attention from everybody who wonders about where the discipline of history might be headed once the dust has settled on the tired debates over objectivity versus relativist skepticism." - Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago"

Allan Megill is professor of history at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Prophets of Extremity: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida and Karl Marx: The Burden of Reason (Why Marx Rejected Politics and the Market), and coeditor of Rethinking Objectivity.
