Overview
As one of the premier historical thinkers of his generation, J rn R sen has made enormous contributions to the methods and theoretical framework of history as it is practiced today. In Evidence and Meaning, R sen 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 R sen 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 na ve empiricism nor radical relativism.
