Sinopse
Características

What is history - a question historians have been asking themselves time and again. Does history as an academic discipline, as it has evolved in the West over the centuries, represent a specific mode of historical thinking that can bedefined in contrast to other forms of historical consciousness?In this volume, Peter Burke, a prominent Western historian, offers ten hypotheses that attempt to constitute specifically Western Historical Thinking. Scholars from Asia and Africa comment on his position in the light of their own ideas of the sense and meaning of historical thinking. The volume is rounded off by Peter Burkes comments on the questions and issues raised by the authors and his suggestions for the way forward towards a common ground for intercultural communication.
