THOUGHTS ON HISTORY IN HISTORY
The aim of this project is to explore the role of history past, present and future, with the aim of establishing:-
(a) the potency of an overview of history as an empowering element in the conduct of human affairs, and
(b) some ideas of how history can further our understanding of our present challenges and the possibilities inherent in our foreseeable future.
To this end the overall project is in two parts.
This first section examines how the study of history has itself impacted on the story of the last two hundred years.
