Book Synopsis Responsible History by : Antoon de Baets

Download or read book Responsible History written by Antoon de Baets and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The abuse of history is common and quite possibly once more on the rise. Although this is well documented, there is no general theory that enables historians to identify, prove, explain, and evaluate the many types of abuse of history. In this book, the author presents such a theory. Reflecting on the responsible use of history, the author identifies the duties that the living has toward the dead and analyzes the rights to memory and history necessary to fulfill these duties. He concludes his argument by proposing a code of ethics as a guide for responsible historians. This work is vital for any historian who wants to oppose and prevent the abuse of history." --Book Jacket.
