The Holocaust and Historical Methodology
In the last two decades our empirical knowledge of the Holocaust has been vastly expanded. Yet this empirical blossoming has not been accompanied by much theoretical reflection on the historiography. This volume argues that reflection on the historical process of (re)constructing the past is as important for understanding the Holocaust-and, by extension, any past event-as is archival research. It aims to go beyond the dominant paradigm of politic…
Thinking Utopia
After the breakdown of socialist and communist systems in the East, it had become fashionable to declare the so-called "end of utopia" ("end of history," "end of narratives"). The authors of this volume do not share this view but think that it is time to rehabilitate utopian thought. The political concept of Utopia that has given its name to these transcendental projections onto the world has been too narrow to describe and analyze the moving for…
Universal History Beyond Ethnocentrism - Problems and Chances
The paper starts with a short overview about the Western idea of universal history since the beginning of the modern era. This overview ends with a critique of this modern idea is being ethnocentric. The second part describes what ethnocentrism is about: an asymmetrical evaluation, a monocentric perspective and an origin-oriented teleology in forming meaning about the past as history. The third part discusses the possibility of overcoming this lo…
Humanism
The book describes humanism in a systematic and historical perspective. It analyzes its manifestation and function in cultural studies and its role in the present. Within the book, special attention is given to the intention of contemporary humanism to overcome ethno-centric elements in the cultural orientation of contemporary living conditions and to develop humane dimensions of this orientation. This is linked to a fundamental critique of the c…
The Horizon of History Moved by Modernity
This article first describes Reinhart Koselleck's interpretation of the modernity of historical thought and then discusses the specific meaning-orientation of this thought. This description is done in a perspective that follows the question of whether modernity is only an epoch in Western history or covers general, universal history. Then, it discusses three problem areas of this conception of modernity: (1) whether there is an alternative to Kos…

A Turning Point in Theory of History
This article intends to place Hayden White's reflection on the basic principles of meaning-construction in history into the historical context of modern historical studies. It first presents the self-understanding of professional historians in which they emphasize the academic (wissenschaftlichen) character of the discipline. In this way of reflection, the traditional (premodern) interpretation of history as a part of rhetoric was pushed back and…
Strukturwandel der kulturellen Öffentlichkeit - Folgen für die Kulturpolitik
Looking back – a pensive balance
This essay summarizes my work in theory of history, history didactics, historiography, and intercultural humanism. That work is put into the framework of historical culture in the Federal Republic of Germany and its reception examined. Within historical studies, reception has been subdued in Germany but much stronger in Brazil and East Asia. Up to today, the work has also had an effective impact in history didactics in Germany and abroad, however…

In Evidence and Meaning, Rüsen surveys the seismic changes that have shaped the historical profession over the last half-century, while offering a clear, economical account of his theory of history. To traditional historiography Rüsen brings theoretical insights from …

Future by History
Philosophy of history has a threefold dimension: material, formal, and functional, which have largely been conceptualized as mutually exclusive. It is high time to mediate them into a coherent relationship, and Rohbeck's book is a decisive step toward such a new philosophy of history.The book is divided into three parts: the first deals with the relationship between history and the future, the second analyzes the relationship between history and …

The third characterizes tradition as a pregiven condition of all historical thinking. With respect to this condition, the constructivist theory of history is criticized as one-sided. The fourth part presents tradition as one of the four basic sense criteria of historical narration. The article concludes …

Historical Truth, Historical Criticism, and Ideology
Three issues essential to our insight into the concept and function of historical consciousness, and the description thereof, form the core of this book: historical truth, historical comment and criticism, and ideology (including the historian's trustworthiness). Taking as a point of departure the workings of these concepts in Chinese historical thinking, the volume carefully draws comparisons with similar topics in the Western tradition. It thus…

How to Overcome Ethnocentrism
Die wahre Liberalität ist Anerkennung.Goethe2ABSTRACTMuch international and intercultural discourse about historiography is influenced by a way of historical thinking deeply rooted in human historical consciousness and that works throughout all cultures and in all times: ethnocentrism. Ethnocentric history conceives of identity in terms of "master-narratives" that define togetherness and difference as essential for identity in a way that causes t…

Some Theoretical Approaches to Intercultural Comparative Historiography
Intercultural comparative historiography raises fundamental methodological problems: Is there any ground for comparison beyond the peculiarities and differences of cultures to be compared? One must avoid taking the Western cultural tradition of historical thinking as the basis for the comparison. Therefore one has to conceptualize the theoretical grounds for comparison and explicate elements of historical thinking which operate in every culture. …

The Horror of Ethnocentrism
Crossing Cultural Borders
Topical intercultural discourse on historical thinking is deeply determined by fundamental distinctions, mainly between the “East” and the “West.” The epistemological preconditions of this discourse are normally not reflected or even criticized. this article follows Chun‐Chieh Huang's attempt to give Chinese historical thinking a new voice in this intercultural discourse. It agrees with Huang's strategy of focusing the description of the peculiar…
Humanism and nature - some reflections on a complex relationship
The paper starts with a systematical analysis of the interrelationship of humanism and nature. It proceeds to a historical reconstruction of this relationship in the development of Western humanism from ancient Rome via Renaissance till the Enlightenment of the 18th century. In both respects the result of the analysis is the same: The Western tradition of humanism is characterised by a gap between an emphasis on the cultural quality of human life…

Historical Narration
What is historical narration? Most historians will feel bored when they hear this question, since they will not feel concerned with this problem; and probably will think, leave this matter to people in literature and philosophy departments. But in fact this question bears on fundamentals of their own work and brings philosophy and linguistics much nearer than usual to historical studies. Hayden White, with elaborate sagacity, labored to convince …

Rhetoric and Aesthetics of History
Historians normally do not look at the output of their work as literature but as a result of academic skill and endeavor. In remarkable opposition to this opinion, recent trends in the theory of history stress the poetical and rhetorical character of historiography -precisely the character generally overlooked in the self-awareness and self-understanding of most professional historians. There is a good deal of postmodernism in the quest for rheto…

Narratividade e objetividade na Ciência Histórica
O artigo procura mostrar como no decorrer do tempo se deu o confronto entre tendências objetivistas e subjetivistas no pensamento histórico, resultando na ambição de elevar a História à categoria de uma ciência objetiva, por um lado, e na tentativa de reduzi-la a uma narração puramente subjetiva, por outro lado. O autor procura intermediar entre essas duas tendências aparentemente irreconciliáveis

Western Historical Thinking
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 Thinki…
