Description: Softcover. Good condition. "Mr. Fischer has a nimble mind; he seems to have read everything ever written and heard every anecdote ever told; he writes with grace and precision. And, either because logic is the soul of wit or vice versa, his book is endlessly amusing. "-Christopher Lehmann-Haupt: The New York Times. Includes an index. read more
"This is more of an arm-chair classic in the philosophy of history - especially teaching history.
Using major historical works pre-1970, Fischer points out fallacies in research, interpretation, and presentation. Ultimately, the book comes down to proposing a simple question: "why do we teach history?" It is more rhetorical than anything else. However, he does raise some valid observations in discussing the fallacies."
"David Hackett Fischer is my favorite modern historian and his book "Historians' Fallacies" is my favorite book on fallacies. He describes more than 100 types of fallacies and gives concrete examples for each. Excellent!"
