Positivists
19th century historians
"Facts alone are wanted in life."
facts exist for historians
history as science.
empirical strain of philosophy
separation between subject and object.
common sense view of history
reception / perception is passive
focus on facts - history
opinion is not history.
History and the Cheques lab are done in the same way. You take what you are given and make the stories. Sometimes you aren't given everything when studying history. There's no way you can gather everything. You'd need to talk to every person in the world to get the full story about something.
