It is a critique of the modern understanding of history that presents it as universal and teleological, progressively moving forward to an end. Although few contemporary philosophers and historians maintain the view that there is strict universality and teleology in history, the remnants of these positions still affect our understanding of history. But if history is not universal and singular, evolving toward an objective universal end, it should be possible to admit of multiple histories, some of which we appropriate as our own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn another important aspect of this book is that if provides an account of history that is itself both historical and rooted in attempts to narrate and explain history from its inception in antiquity. The book seeks to establish features or constituents of history that might be found in any historical account and might themselves be considered historical invariants in history.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086926962839,"sku":"9781474269117","price":17748.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474269117.webp?v=1767098992","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-concept-of-history-how-ideas-are-constituted-transmitted-and-interpreted-9781474269117","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
