Nature and peculiarities of historical knowledge /last part/

in #godflesh5 years ago (edited)

All other historical monuments, as well as other historical monuments, stand out as secondary media. and material, not just written ones.On this occasion, Marx notes without any justification: the remnants of old labor are also of such importance for the examination of the missing economic formations as the construction of fossil bones for the study of the body organization of the missing animal species.

The means of labor concluded Marx were not only a measure for the development of the human workforce, but also an indicator of the social relations in which he worked. It follows from this that the view of the historical past as something that does not have an immediate reality is not covered by the real state of affairs.The past is just as real as the present, but unlike the latter exists in a dead, extinguished or frozen form, and only a modern historian is the one who can revive it, and also interweave the goals and tasks of the present. However, this animation takes place in a subjective form.

We can say that "along the trees do not see the forest" (Engels), saying that the only possible subject of a historian's research is the historical sources some people does not see the obvious fact that these sources themselves are the past as in terms of their own existence, as well as from the point of view of the information about the social relations of the respective age.

  1. from the second follows that historical knowledge is mediocre
    nature / from historical sources /.
  2. It deals not with facts like natural science but with artifacts - this one a peculiarity has its own reasons.

The very term artefact comes from artes (artificial) and factus (made). In this sense, the story deals with the so-called. second, revised nature, and so in his "Apology to the History or Craft of the Historian" Mark Bloch notes: behind the so-called " historic monuments historian seeks man, ie. his current life. We also have a similar thought with Herder. The one who sees the gem only precious stones and gold sees nothing. he is a natural researcher rather than a historian. The distinction between nature and socio-science is only partially eliminated under one premise, namely when the world as a whole is considered an artifact of God. From this point of view, history as a science, so to speak, works with second order artifacts, the order of man.

excellent as always, putting up to date with your content one of my favorite blogger, learning from you as from others ... Greetings and my respects as always here I leave my support.

Thank you very much :)

Sometimes I wonder if Marx and his ilk, though with a thought towards helping, hasn't greatly hindered our current world. What a mess the human race made of the 20th century and I wonder what shall become of the 21st?

Every evil comes with good intentions. We will see what will happen to the European Union and the anti-globalization trends that make a loud voice. Erich Form says that Marxism came too early when capitalism was not yet at its true climax. There are many probabilities, Yuval Harari in his book "Homo Deus" describes a number of variants of what may happen, but most likely, if Marxism manifests again, it will be through a technological revolution, not a revolution of the masses.
