====== History ====== <code> evidence: physical (coins, buildings, paintings) written/oral: PRIMARY SOURCES | | | SECONDARY SOURCES <----- | (written by other historians) | | | | | | | | | | a story of the past ------------------------- </code> Problems of Knowledge: * evidence is liable to __forgery__ * "a" story, because history is liable to __bias__: every historian writes from some perspective -- e.g. * even writing about the Roman Empire, a British historian in1900, during the colonial time, will write differently from a modern American historian.
