"History" (by Carr)

"History" by E.H. Carr emphasizes that history is not just a collection of facts but a continuous process shaped by human interpretation and social contexts. Carr argues that historians select and interpret events based on their perspectives, biases, and the questions they ask. History is influenced by the present, meaning our understanding of the past evolves as society changes. It involves both facts and the debates around them, making it a dynamic dialogue rather than a fixed record. Ultimately, history is about understanding how past events and ideas influence and are understood within the fabric of human society.
