ISBN: 9787301181980 Westerners' reflection on history has been systematically reflected since ancient Greece, and this tradition continued until the rise of historical determinism at the end of18. After that, the western historical understanding was able to break through the tradition and enter an era of deeper reflection and more systematic research. Starting from the author's "self" position, this book expresses his cognition of the core elements of historical understanding, criticizes the truth view of scientism and correspondence theory in modern western historical understanding, and then expounds the impact of postmodernism on contemporary historical compilation and concepts, such as Foucault, Derrida, hayden white and others' criticism and reflection on the themes of time, change and historicity. The author shows that postmodernism introduces historical knowledge into a more complex and diverse system, which will certainly make historians more conscious, self-disciplined and self-respecting, and think about their research objects and even the research behavior itself historically.
The progress of historiography is largely based on the development of epistemology. Without the development of epistemology, all the achievements of historical research can only be manifested in the expansion of the number of historical materials.
Western modern historiography rose under the influence of scientific positivism epistemology, so it had a glorious era in the19th century. However, from science to scientism and the absolutization of positivism, the problem has turned to the opposite side. How do we know this inevitable development? In my opinion, this book can give us a good inspiration and interesting explanation.

In addition to the necessary historical background research, Xin Chen's book mainly discusses the theoretical issues of historical cognition in the post-modern context, such as evidence, historical facts, documents and first-hand materials, objectivity and authenticity of history, historical works, historical research methods, historians and historical purposes.
Whether you agree with him or disagree with him, what is the specific content of this view first? In what field of vision was this view put forward? This requires people to think about related issues. It is not easy for a book to play such a role, and not every book can do it.
