Summary: Once and future historiographies
Comment: This interesting and topical upgrade to/commentary on Carr's classic _What is History?_ recaps the historiographical history of the sudden 'postmodern turn' that occurred in the wake of that book with its rapid proliferation of distinct new methodologies, or anti-methodologies. Thrown in relief by Carr's original question these gestures seem to be coming full circle at a moment when the nature of historical writing is once again under examination, as the 'now' in the title suggests. But historical theory is bedouin traveller, never content with itself. One might confound the triumph of the anti-theorists by contro-posing another question, What is evolution? The current paradigmatic has, in part, enforced the wrong answer to question, in the process enforcing the 'must remain muddled' regime of historical explanation. What is evolution and what is history and are the two questions the same and if not when did evolution become history?
These questions remain unanswered in a Darwinian age.
