The Idea of History

He considers that the historian must reconstruct history using ‘historical imagination’ to ‘re-enact’ the thought process of historical person based on information and evidence from historical sources.
The classical work, The Idea of History, by the British historian Collingwood, was a posthumous work, and was much quoted by historians like E.H. Carr, in his much-praised work, What is History? It proposed history as the discipline from the time of Herodotus to the twentieth century. He considered history as a science, but distinguished it from natural sciences as he defines that history is concerned with social sciences and human affairs.
