A történész mestersége
The Historian’s Craft

Summary/Abstract: In his posthumously published work, Marc Bloch, one of the founders of the Annales School, extensively discusses questions such as: how does the historian work? What is history, and what is its “purpose”? What is “historical reality”? Where does history fit among the social sciences? The issues he raised, however, are not new; they have long occupied and continue to engage historians. Throughout history, countless individuals, belonging to various civilizations, regions, and intellectual frameworks, have formulated the definition of history from ancient times to the present day. This essay presents a selection of the above-mentioned questions, definitions, and discussions that have been raised and explored over centuries.
