{"product_id":"9781138836839","title":"Why Bother with History? : Ancient, Modern and Postmodern Motivations","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing examples from antiquity to the present, this timely and relevant volume argues for an increasingly important role for a revitalised historical study. Examining the motivations of past historians, the author rejects the ancient aspiration to a ''history for its own sake'' and argues that historians'' importance lies in their own adoption of a moral standpoint. Inevitably controversial, in that it challenges many of the assumptions of modernist history, this is an interdisciplinary book, which draws in particular on psychology and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45415829241935,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":6650.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781138836839-1.jpg?v=1780453538","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781138836839","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
