Examining the motivations of past historians, the author rejects the ancient aspiration to a 'history for its own sake' and argues that historians' importance lies in their own adoption of a moral standpoint. Inevitably controversial, in that it challenges many of the assumptions of modernist history, this is an interdisciplinary book, which draws in particular on psychology and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896351903895,"sku":"9780582423909","price":6175.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780582423909.webp?v=1770357904","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/why-bother-with-history-ancient-modern-and-postmodern-motivations-9780582423909","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
