    E.H. himself! Now that invokes memories. He was good part of the initial treatment that took me from schoolboy history to university level. I've actually still got the book. Might read it again after watching your vid. Thank you.

    Thank you so much. I'm from Peru and I'm in first year studying History. My teacher said to read this classic book and your video gave me the global vision that I needed to start it. I am glad for that, I'll share it with my class.

    Once again, an amazingly insightful concept of the way History is "percieved". The insight on how Historians view, interpret, conceptualize and inevitably present History, and it's many variables that are, and can be involved in the ways of interpreting and presenting it. Speaking of an "objective" formula, a scientific methodology that could and is, in many circumstances applied to the interpretation and recording of History, thus invokes the question of what is the "truth of History", in the sense of my own "personal reality", another persons "reality", likewise the rest of the world's version or their "sense of reality" of History. I wholeheartedly agree that to set-up a universal standard and a scientific methodology of the interpretation and recording of History is tantamount in finding this "Holy Grail" of the "truth of History".

    Poor choose of words saying that the individual mans death was not important. Ginger bread... man, matters too.

    • @Farukino
      @Farukino Рік тому +3

      I think you didn’t get the point then. He says this because that’s essentially the outcome of the view he’s discussing, by focusing on picking out events that seemingly matter for our present. As a consequence, the death of a gingerbread (seemingly) “doesn’t matter” because it’s impact is considered minimal.

    really good video - although note that Carr consistently refers to the historian as 'he' and the narrator talks about the 'men historians study' - WOMEN ARE BOTH HISTORICAL FIGURES AND HISTORIANS THO

      Feminist demands of representation pail in comparison to the absolute patriarchy of much of the “modern” world don’t they? Perhaps a gender should aim for a higher sense of empowerment, beyond representation and its attending pronouns, lol.

    • @eorobinson3
      @eorobinson3 4 роки тому +2

      And it was 1960 (when Carr was making his arguments with the dreaded “He” pronoun-Barbara Tuchman...Doris Kearns Goodwin, had yet to arrive, not least of which because women were not pursuing the historical profession, for the most part. It was as much prejudice as it was preference...

  • @aspergianheteroclite3014

    I quite liked this video. However, I disagree that Carr's What is History is a purely relativist account of history. Carr does have an interpretist conception of history but he avoids falling into the total relativism of the postmodernist.
    He is extremely critical of what he identifies as the cynical view that he believes emanates from the elite in light of the decline of the British colonialism and wider European colonial power. Carr quotes powick as warning that unless one can overcome the prevailing elitist nihilism a constructive idea of history cannot be attained which would produce the consequence of people becoming drawn to mysticism and cynicism. It is very relevant to today's political and social culture in light of what is now referred to as post-truth culture.
