- Course objectives
- This multidisciplinary course follows on from the course Historical Methodology 1 and aims to further develop the student’s knowledge of methodological approaches in working with historical sources in the critical study of these sources and historical literature.
- Learning outcomes
- Students will learn the main currents of historical-methodological thought, especially from the early modern period to the second half of the 20th century. They will be able to classify and characterize the leading exponents of historical thought of the period and critically analyse the genesis of their theories and place them in the overall framework of development. In addition to this specialist knowledge, the course will focus on the further development of oral argumentation skills, based on extensive discussions in seminars and on the study of authentic historical sources, critical publications and other specialist texts.
- Syllabus
- In the seminar group, which will be composed of students of doctoral programmes in historical and related sciences, there will be discussion on the fundamental texts (sources, publications, and works of individual historians) that shaped Czech and Western European historiography, basically in chronological order from the Baroque through the Enlightenment up to the second half of the 20th century.
- Literature
- The literature is assigned individually according to the issues under discussion.
- Literatura je zadána individuálně podle probírané problematiky.
