從古代到啟蒙運動的歷史文本

歷史寫作的問題，目的和方法，近三千年來一直是爭論的主題。歷史應該是政治的還是哲學的？歷史的寫作是藝術還是科學？歷史的局限是什麼？這本書收錄包含來自112位歷史學家的主要文本，從希臘早期到十八世紀末的著名西方歷史學家對歷史寫作的這些和其他方面的有趣觀點。

The problems, purposes, and methods of history writing have been the subject of debate for almost three millennia. Should history be political or philosophical? Is the writing of history an art or a science? What are the limitations of history? This book is an intriguing collection of views on these and other aspects of history writing by eminent Western historians from early Greece to the end of the eighteenth century.


The book contains major texts from 112 historians, both well-known and neglected, ranging from the “mythistories” of Homer and Hesiod to the “reasoned” and “philosophical” accounts of Vico and Voltaire. These texts discuss, for example, theories of historical change, problems of anachronism, narrative, and gender, questions of origins, causation, and historical patterns, and historical criticism. Donald R. Kelley, who selected and arranged the writings, also provides essays and commentary that give background material on the themes of historiography and on the authors included in the book
