A very good video lecture by TIK introducing the philosophy of history:
* How did history develop as a discipline?
* What are historical facts? What does truth mean for historians?
* Can history be objective?
* Is history more an art or a science?
* What explains the contemporary attacks on history by postmodern theorists Derrida, Barthes, and others?
(I appreciate the mention at around minute 21. Thanks to Leo Zelmanovitz for sending the link.)
