On Some Clues of Subjectivism with Regard to Methodology of Society and History

Abstract

In accordance with the logic or aim of historiography, we presume that the highest possible conformity should be observed between history itself and historiography. Nonetheless, the problem of objectivity with respect to history remains within the area of interest of disciplines such as philosophy, sociology etc., and particularly history, in the form of a given that could not yet be worked out. Even if this problem, which arises out of the fact that various histories interpret and express differently the very same events, is tried to be dissipated by document and relic fetishism, the question of which history reflects what in an objective and reliable manner is a question whose answer often varies with people, environment and society.
