That's only the case if an ideological view of history is wrong; which is certainly one way to approach history. However, there's nothing to say that approach is inherently correct.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoYes I am assuming an ideological view of history is "wrong," as do almost all working historians. Nothing is "inherently correct" in this domain, historians subscribe to this model because it is most generally useful for their purposes. Ideological history is most useful for purposes other than strict historiography. Notably and notoriously propaganda lol. What are you getting at here?
- concordDance 3y agoGiven that ideology can be quite corrosive to truth (selection effects on transmission of information will distort things and that's just one of the effects), an approach that tries to avoid ideology is likely to get a more accurate view of the past.
