Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysics of Historical Knowledge In the case of knowledge derived from most se-called history, one is even further removed from the original experiences de scribed. To be sure, such knowledge has its ultimate source in the reports of eye-witnesses. But it does not reach us unalloyed. It comes reinterpreted, remoulded by the private thoughts of the historian. And however accurate the story may be, I no more relive those experiences than I behold my friend in the photograph.
