«¿Qué es la historia?» is the essay by Edward Hallett Carr, published by Seix Barral in paperback (217 pages, in Spanish).
The essay reflects on the object, purpose and method of history. It questions the separation between the historian and the facts, affirms that interpretation is part of the historical datum and that the past is understood from the present, which leads him to deny the possibility of a totally objective history.
Ciencias Humanas collection. Translation by Joaquín Romero Maura. George Macaulay Trevelyan lectures delivered at the University of Cambridge between January and March 1961.
For history students and readers interested in historiographical theory and the philosophy of history.
Edward Hallett Carr was a British English historian, diplomat, journalist and international relations theorist, and an opponent of empiricism within historiography. Carr was best known for A History of Soviet Russia, a 14-volume history of the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1929, for his writings on international relations, particularly The Twenty Years' Crisis, and for his book What Is History? in which he laid out historiographical principles rejecting traditional historical methods and practices.
