whayr is objectibty dicuss the histriographical tradition which believed in the possibility of copplet objejectivity
Answers
Answer:
Historical knowledge is not purely intuitive because it is derived from a critical examination of source material and is checked by further reference to the source. Historical objectivity is closely related to value-judgment.By objectivity, we mean dispassionate, disinterested and scientific treatment of all events which would be depicted by a historian as if he was a judge pronouncing his verdict in the most impartial way without any fear or favour.Knowing as we do human nature, prejudice to a certain extent is a built in complex in man. With confidence a historian declares the fact is but many of these alleged facts are better than his own observation, remarks and opinion. They are the result of judgments not necessarily compelled by the facts but flowing from the mental make-up of the historian.
