تاریخ: روایت، تفسیر، جهت‌گیری (درک تاریخ، جلد پنجم)

"Without denying the importance of the postmodernist approach to the narrative form and rhetorical strategies of historiography, the author, one of Germany's most prominent cultural historians, argues here in favor of reason and methodical rationality in history. He presents a broad variety of aspects, factors and developments of historical thinking from the 18th century to the present, thus continuing, in exemplary fashion, the tradition of critical self-reflection in the humanities and looking at historical studies as an important factor of cultural orientation in practical life."--Jacket Contents List of Tables List of Figures Preface Introduction: How to Understand Historical Thinking I: NARRATION Chapter 1 Historical Narration: Foundation,Types, Reason Chapter 2 Narrative Competence: The Ontogeny of Historical and Moral Consciousness Chapter 3 Rhetoric and Aesthetics of History: Leopold von Ranke Chapter 4 Narrativity and Objectivity in Historical Studies II: INTERPRETATION Chapter 5 What is Historical Theory?
