Beskrivning
Narrativism has made important contributions to the theory and philosophy of historiography but it is now time to move beyond it to postnarrativism. Kuukkanen shows how it is possible to reject the absolutist truth-functional evaluation of interpretations in historiography and yet accept that historiography can be evaluated by rational standards.

Recensioner i media

"I recommend this text. It is lucid and honest in its analysis. It is the kind of text that clearly explicates its arguments and assumptions about how the past and history can be regarded as - in effect - the same thing. The author expends useful time in the Introduction explicating the distinction between historiography (writing history) and history (defined as past events)." (Alun Munslow, Rethinking History, September, 2015) "... Insgesamt hat Kuukkanen ein innovatives Buch zu einer gerade stattfindenden theoretischen Entwicklung vorgelegt, das fur theoretisch interessierte Historiker/innen wie auch fur Wissenschaftsphilosoph/innen von Interesse sein sollte. ... Der klare Aufbau und die analytische Sprache des Buchs konnen fur seine weitere kritische Diskussion fruchtbar sein ..."
