Real History; Reflections on Historical Practice (Philosophical Issues in Science)

Editorial Reviews
Natalie Zemon Davis, author of The Return of Martin Guerre and Society and Culture in Early Modern France
"Martin Bunzl's Real History provides a breath of fresh air in writing on the philosophy and epistemology of history. In language accessible to historians, philosophers, and the reading public more generally, he explores the questions posed by the various 'turns' of the post-war decades: deconstructive, linguistic, literary, anthropological, and quantitative. He looks not just at what historians say about their methods, but at what they actually do. His conclusions build upon the best roots in the current understanding of relativism in our knowledge of the past, while insisting on the responsibility of historians and readers toward matters of evidence and the social world in which they live ."

Canadian Journal of History/Annales canadiennes d'histoire - December 1999
"...manages to go beyond some of the conventional limits observed by philosophers writing about history."
