Objectivity is Not Neutrality: Explanatory Schemes in History
(1998)
Abstract
How much of history as we know it has been colored, or fictionalized, by the subjectivity and theoretical speculation of the recorder rather than stating simple facts that happened. Considering recent challenges to principles of truth and objectivity, historian Thomas Haskell calls upon historians to think deeply about the nature of historical explanation.
