History is the study and recording of the past.

History:

  • In the Western tradition, Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian, is often regarded as the "father of history," though he has also been criticized as the "father of lies."
  • Historians write in the context of their own time, taking into account current dominant ideas about how to interpret the past, and sometimes writing to provide lessons for their own society.
  • "All history is contemporary history," says Benedetto Croce.
  • The production of narrative and analysis of past events relating to the human race facilitates the formation of a "true discourse of the past."
  • This discourse is institutionally produced by the modern discipline of history.

What is the purpose of studying history?

  • By examining how the past has shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people, history helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas.
  • History studies help us understand how events in the past shaped the world we live in today.
  • Lessons from the past teach us not only about ourselves and how we came to be but also how to avoid mistakes and forge better paths for our societies.
