Jacques Le Goff
Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) was a renowned French historian and a leading figure in the Annales School of historiography. His work focused primarily on the Middle Ages, exploring themes of culture, society, and the evolution of European identity. Le Goff was known for his innovative approach to history, emphasizing the importance of non-traditional sources and interdisciplinary methods. His influential writings, such as 'Time, Work, and Culture in the Middle Ages' and 'Medieval Civilization, 400-1500', have reshaped the understanding of medieval history. In recent discussions about the importance of art history in education, Le Goff's assertion that 'an Europe without history would be orphaned and miserable' has been highlighted to emphasize the necessity of historical consciousness in shaping European identity.
