Scepticism and Historical Knowledge
by Jack W. Meiland
paperback in good used condition
"Scepticism and Historical Knowledge is a philosophical exploration of how we can know and justify claims about the past despite the challenges of evidence, interpretation, and perspective. Published in 1965, the book examines the nature of historical inquiry through the lens of epistemology, addressing skeptical doubts about whether history can ever provide objective knowledge. Meiland analyzes the reliability of sources, the role of historians’ assumptions, and the limits of historical certainty, ultimately defending the possibility of rational historical understanding while acknowledging its provisional and interpretive character. This work remains a significant contribution to the philosophy of history, bridging questions of skepticism with the practice of historical scholarship."
