Review of History: What and Why?

This paper is Review of History: What and Why?byBeverleySouthgate. Our findings show that this book is not an original work which contains speculations of the author, but is an elementary text book about one of the most important questions of the philosophy of history, i.e. has history any kind of objectivity? In a good manner, he gathered views of the formers as well as latters. Also, he shows that how the history, as a disciplineis affected by other fields of humanities. Its language is simple and has a logical structure. But relativistic and subjectivist approach of the author is one of the challenging aspects of this book in Iranian philosophical atmosphere. This book is old and its subject matters are very limited.
