Rewriting Democracy
The Continuing Modesty of History
The critique of conventional historical writing has been emergent for a century-it is not the work of a few-and it has immense practical implications for Western society, perhaps especially in English-speaking countries. Involved are such issues as the decline of representation, the nature of causality, the definitions of identity or time or system, to name only a few. Conventional historians are quite right to consider this a challenge to everyt…
Time is finite
Historians fail to think about time because to do so would require them to acknowledge the existence of foundational challenges to the entire enterprise of historical explanation as it is conventionally practiced and conceived. Among the conventions most at risk is the definition of time that is fundamental to historical explanation: time as a neutral medium ‘in’ which everything exists. Newton and/or his followers called this ‘God's time’ and it…
What If Time Is a Dimension of Events, Not an Envelope for Them
Any discussion of time must first indicate what kind of time is involved. Most discussions of time simply take for granted a particular kind of time, one which was invented for modern Europe beginning in the Quattrocento and perfected in the nineteenth century, one which has been specific to a particular phase of western culture, and its empiricist tendencies. This kind of time has been broadly challenged since the turn of the twentieth century a…
Ethics and Method
It is possible for historians to mislead a nation in respect of what it might regard as its historic mission.Herbert Butterfield History as we knew it was a lie, a deceit.Slavenka Drakuliç ABSTRACTHistorical method rests on the common-denominator values that characterize modernity. Postmodernity challenges those values across the range of practice and with them the very foundations of historical explanation. Responding to this challenge is centra…
Beyond History
This invited essay was to be autobiographical. And so it is, but with a difference from traditional autobiographical writing that I discuss as part of the essay. History is the genre of modernity; it underwrites much of what we practice and assume in education, in politics, in personal life. So I am very interested in exploring the implications of postmodernity: a critique of modernity that is widely disseminated and cannot be wished away. What d…

Encounters
Frustrated with the usual methods of scholarly inquiry, Ewa Domanska hit upon the idea of interviewing some of the world's most original and important theorists and philosophers of history to get at the heart of contemporary understandings of The result is Encounters, an exciting collection of these dialogues. So old-fashioned as to seem revolutionary, the interview format allows for a concise presentation of the main ideas of each writer, provid…
Agency in the Discursive Condition
This article claims that postmodernity necessarily, and perhaps opportunely, undermines the bases upon which political democracy traditionally has rested; and that therefore some significant work must be done in order to redefine, restore, or otherwise reconfigure democratic values and institutions for a changed cultural condition. This situation presents the opportunity to explore the new options, positive openings, and discursive opportunities …

Ph(r)ase Time
Historical time, which we take for granted as a basic common denominator in so much social, political and cultural practice, is a construction belonging to Renaissance and Reformation humanism, and one that is undergoing fundamental contemporary challenge across a broad cultural range from language to science. This article, building on the author's Realism and Consensus (1983) and Sequel to History (1992), and using material from different fields…

The silent power of possibilities in her novels, of which Barbara Hardy has made us mindful, informs the variegated conditions which surround every action; and yet the far-reaching consequences of every action and the growing weight of conditions that the sum of actions entails are also powerfully present facts. In Daniel Deronda, for example, Gwendolen has alternatives to marrying Gran…
