Abstract

This paper makes a reflective discussion on the objectivity of history from the perspective of the production of history knowledge. The author holds that the emphasis on the objectivity of history lies behind the nature of history as a discipline: the history of “science” or the history of “humanities”. Under the perspective of humanism, the objectivity of history only has a secondary status and weakened significance.
