We justify our actions in the present through our understanding of the past. But we live in a time when politicians lie brazenly about historical facts and meddle with the content of history books while media differ wildly in their reporting of the same event. Frequently new discoveries force us to re-evaluate everything we thought we knew about the past. So how can any certainty about history be established and why does it matter? Lynn Hunt shows why the search for truth about the past as a continual process of discovery is vital for our societies. History has an essential role to play in ensuring honest presentation of evidence. In this way it can foster humility about our present-day concerns a critical attitude toward chauvinism and an openness to other peoples and cultures. History Hunt argues is our best defense against tyranny. Introducing Polity s Why It Matters series; in these short and lively books world-leading thinkers make the case for the importance of their subjects and aim to inspire a new generation of students.
