Theory of Knowledge

July 13th, 2010
Posted in A-Level / IB History

It has been said that “all history is contemporary history” (Croce) and “History tells us more about the person who wrote it than about the people being written about” (Carr).
In this sense, works of history themselves become sources for later generations of historians!

In this session, we will look at the three broad interpretations about the course of history that historians have formulated.
Whig School
Marxist School
Annales School
