Topic: Arguments against History as Science
Question: History is a science or not? Explain
The topic weather history is a science or not has been a subject of debate for a long time,
with various perspectives and opinions emerging over the years. But for me, History has something
to do with science. To note an example, history also need a systematic investigation. Majority of
our historians gather evidences that will go through a careful analyzation that will further testify
and developed theories that happened in the past. Aside from that, History also uses and maximize
various methodologies in collecting and verifying sources, analyzing and interpreting data and
findings that are likely and similar to the methodologies used by scientific researchers. Moreover,
History also objective based when it comes to analysis it truly strives to be objective.
