Historiography

Historiography in the Philosophy of History means studying how history is written. It's like a behind-the-scenes look at how historians gather information, weigh its reliability, and create narratives about the past. It doesn't just ask 'what happened?', but 'how do we know what happened?' and 'how do we interpret this information?'. Ultimately, it's about understanding how, why, and to what extent our perspectives on history are influenced by the way history is researched, interpreted, and presented.
