About this Unit
The unit is an overview of Western historical thought and writing, from Herodotus to Foucault, demonstrating different approaches to historical knowledge. We examine some of the many ideas and sources that have influenced historical writing as well as some of the enduring questions, such as ‘What is historical truth?’ and ‘Can history ever be objective?’ Our exploration will include both close reading of texts and more ‘hands-on’ exercises to gain insight into different historical methodologies.
