Edward Hallett Carr, What Is History?“Study the historian before you begin to study the facts.”
Edward Hallett Carr, What Is History?“History is the long struggle of man, by exercise of his reason, to understand his environment and to act upon it. But the modern period has broadened the struggle in a revolutionary way. Man now seeks to understand, and act on, not only his environment, but himself; and this has added, so to speak, a new dimension to reason and a new dimension to history.”
Edward Hallett Carr, What Is History?“The historian without his facts is rootless and futile”
