The Poverty of Anti-realism: Critical Perspectives on Postmodernist Philosophy of History - Hardcover

by Tor Egil Fland (Editor), Branko Mitrovicｴ (Editor), Adam Timmins (Contribution by)

Philosophy of history is currently dominated by postmodernist anti-realists who claim that historiography can never provide true accounts of the past. The Poverty of Anti-realism exposes the faulty premises and reasoning behind such assertions and shows that anti-realism has political implications unforeseen and unwanted by its adherents.
