Product Description

•••••
In The Meaning of History, Henri-Irénée Marrou offers a profound philosophical reflection on the nature and purpose of historical study. Challenging the assumptions of modern positivism, he argues that history is far more than the collection of facts—it is the thoughtful pursuit of truth about the human past. Addressing questions of objectivity, historical evidence, interpretation, and the historian's role, Marrou presents a balanced and deeply human vision of history rooted in intellectual humility and respect for the complexity of human experience. This classic work remains an essential resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the philosophy of history.
