Liberty Chronicles, Ep. 68: More Creative Historical Thinking
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 2018-08-21

Our conversation about how all history is revisionist and open to creativity with Michael Douma continues this week. Douma believes that a history classroom should not be about memorizing facts that a professor believes matters. It is more important to train people to think critically and creatively. Douma believes that history is always written from the perspective of the historian which means that it is, "a discussion without end, meaning that history is never completely solid or solved. 

What is the definition of creativity? How is history like a pencil? Is history all conspiracy? What is a history buff? What is a crack-pot?
