Synopsis
As one of the premier historical thinkers of his generation, Joern Rusen has made enormous contributions to the methods and theoretical framework of history as it is practiced today. In Evidence and Meaning, Rusen surveys the seismic changes that have shaped the historical profession over the last half-century, while offering a clear, economical account of his theory of history. To traditional historiography Rusen brings theoretical insights from philosophy, narrative theory, cultural studies, and the social sciences, developing an intricate but robust model of "historical thinking" as both a cognitive discipline and a cultural practice-one that is susceptible neither to naive empiricism nor radical relativism.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"The English translation of Joern Rusen's Historik is a major event in the global community of practitioners of the philosophy, methodology, logic or, broadly speaking, theory of history. Now ideas of universal value speak the universal koine...it is hard to find in all of academia a more suitable book for introducing in an orderly manner the metatheoretical results of 150 years of debates on the nature of history." * Journal of the Philosophy of History
"This book is the late aggregate of numerous ground-breaking texts on the theory of history that Rusen has published since the end of the 1960s. Rusen has, in this book, pooled and consolidated many approaches to thinking about the theory of history... Reading and discussing Rusen's book... could be, for all history teacher students, one leg in their journeys to becoming routined teachers and something that they will gratefully remember after many years of professional practice." * Public History Weekly
"Rusen succeeds overall to fulfill the claim of a comprehensive fundamental synthesis. The openness and time-bound nature of a work should be understood as an invitation to develop further the theory of historiography. Rusen himself has offered, and not only with this book, an important contribution." * H-Soz-Kult
