But what exactly is evidence, how do historians know what it means-and how can we trust them to get it right? Historian David Henige tackles such questions of historical reliability head-on in his skeptical, unsparing, and acerbically witty Historical Evidence and Argument. Systematic doubt is his watchword, and he practices what he preaches through a variety of insightful assessments of historical controversies-for example, over the dating of artifacts and the textual analysis of translated documents. Skepticism, Henige contends, forces us to recognize the limits of our knowledge, but is also a positive force that stimulates new scholarship to counter it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736025235744,"sku":"NEW0299214109","price":31.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71H9rB4LgzL.jpg?v=1779503076","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/historical-evidence-and-argument-0299214109","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
