The Historian Underground


The Historian Underground This site provides articles, links, and other resources related to historiography and historical methodology, as well as philosophy of history.

From the site:

Nietzsche has argued that history ought to be useful to life. Too often academic history simply judges the past, separates the past from the present, and makes the historical ineffective for use in contemporary struggles. The philosophy of the Historian Underground seeks to break this trend. The task of history is not in judging the past but to judge the present. The study and investigation of history can be an important tool in providing a ground for critique. It can be a tool for liberation of thought and a freeing of possibilities. This site has attempted to bring together a diverse collection of materials towards that end. Below you will find articles unique to this site, a growing list of history quotes, and a large collection of related Links. And now you can also Visit our shop. Also feel free to check out the new associate sites of The Historian Underground, as well as our recently added Book Search Center. Comments and criticism are most welcome and can be sent to David Kosalka or you can Sign my Guestbook.
