Description
過去というのはまるで異国だと言われており、歴史家は現代の価値観を押し付けることなく過去を理解しようとする。しかしながら、歴史叙述とは、必然的に過去と現在の対話を行うことである。本講演では、これまでA Modern History of Japanを4版執筆し、現在5版の執筆を検討中の著者が、25年にわたる内的対話を紹介する。
The past, it is said, is a foreign country, and historians seek to understand it without imposing present-day values. Yet inevitably, to write history is to engage in a dialogue between the past and the present. In this talk I will introduce my internal dialogue over the 25 years during which I wrote four editions of A Modern History of Japan, and am now considering a fifth edition.
