Tarihin Peşinde

What benefits does history offer to humanity? What are historical sources and how are these sources used? How can we benefit from the science of history in terms of politics, biography, philosophy, economy, society and mentality? What is historiography? Are there limits to historical knowledge? The book in your hand appeals to history students who are particularly interested in these questions, as well as to readers whose curiosity in history knows no bounds.

British historian John Tosh states that the word history has two meanings. One of these is events that occurred in the past. The other is the reconstruction and transfer of the past by historians. The work you have is a study focused on the second meaning and serves as an introduction to the subject of history.

Stating that history, which has inter-societal connections, must benefit from other disciplines in order to fully fulfill its function, Tosh says that it is essential that all kinds of historical research be carried out in accordance with the meticulous criticism method that has left its mark on modern academic history. While doing this, he makes use of the current debates among historians and fairly conveys the views he disagrees with.

One of the rare books that has a reference feature in the field of "In Pursuit of History"...
