The Philosophical Struture of Historical Explanation

Aula Biral, 4° piano, Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà

Book symposium
Does historiography produce knowledge that is on par with scientific knowledge?
Roth argues that the narrative nature of historical theories is an epistemic aspect of scientific inquiry in general. The challenge in this book is then to produce an account of the epistemic function of narratives in historiography that is in congruence with both the practice of historical research and a broader epistemic account of scientific knowledge.
