E.H. Carr

Edward Hallett Carr (1892-1982) was a prominent British historian, diplomat, and political scientist, best known for his influential work on international relations and history. His seminal book, 'What Is History?', challenged traditional historical narratives and emphasized the role of interpretation and bias in historical writing. Carr's views on power dynamics in international politics, particularly the interplay between morality and power, have had a lasting impact on the field of political theory. He argued that the study of history should not only focus on events but also on the social and political contexts that shape them.
