Gaddis argues that it is important when writing or thinking about history to consider the context that led to an event. One of Gaddis’ main points in this book is focused on the importance of causation.
By using relevant modern examples, Gaddis is able to argue against forms of social science while promoting different forms of historical thinking. This book is a combination of writings and lectures performed by Gaddis. In this book, Gaddis argues against multiple fields of social sciences while providing insight to historians about stronger research and analysis methods. Motivated to display the importance of historical consciousness, Gaddis wrote the book The Landscape of History. John Lewis Gaddis is a professor of history at Yale University, the recipient of multiple writing awards and a distinguished author.
