Is history objective or subjective? What are the measures and standards for writing
history for them to be objective? How can we ensure that writing history is objective?
• History should be objective
• Often written in a subjective point of view (interpretations of
historian)
• take all the sources into consideration
• good historians explain why their question is important, exactly what sources they
found, and how they analyzed those sources to reach a particular interpretation
(Marius, 2002)
• Facts are not to be collected haphazardly, but with careful, laborious, repeated
investigation (Lucian, 1710)
