«Why History Matters» is John Tosh's essay on historical theory and methods, published by Palgrave Macmillan in paperback (173 pages, in English).
John Tosh argues that history provides an essential perspective for understanding the present and that ignoring it impoverishes public debate. With examples such as the Iraq war, AIDS and globalisation, he explains how analysis of the past helps form a critical and informed judgement on contemporary society.
The 2008 edition includes bibliographic references and an index; the work falls within the categories of History, Education and Philosophy.
Intended for university students of history and for those interested in the public role of the discipline.
