著者について
E. H. Carr was a prominent British historian, journalist, and diplomat, known for his influential work in the field of history and international relations. He is best recognized for his seminal writings on the nature of history, particularly his book 'What Is History?', which has sparked extensive debate about the philosophy of history and the role of the historian. Carr's perspective emphasized the subjective nature of historical interpretation, arguing that history is not merely a collection of facts but a narrative shaped by the historian's viewpoints and biases.
In addition to his philosophical contributions, Carr also extensively analyzed Soviet history and international relations, making significant contributions to the understanding of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. His works such as 'The Bolshevik Revolution' and 'The Soviet State' reflect his deep engagement with the political dynamics of the 20th century. Through his writings, Carr influenced generations of historians and political scientists, leaving a lasting legacy in the study of history and international politics.
