Is history a science?

>>3169455
Modern history is more like national legends and propaganda.

>>3169455
No, it's a social "science".

>>3169531
As opposed to ancient history? Lmao

>>3169455
Humanists are too stupid to learn any kind of science, so no

>>3169778
How come?

History before invention of book-printing is nonsense.
History as science appeared in 18 century as tool of state propaganda and state eduaction.
Current censorship is less stronger, but still bad. "Holocaust" is shamefull example of non-scientific core of current history.

Be honest, you like history (and humanities) because it's easy to digest and entertaining, they don't develop your thinking abilities at all. You are terrible at math (and therefore probably stupid, because math is a good determinant of one's intelligence) and would rather read fanfic/genre fiction pleb trash known as history books.
I won't even start on philosophy - virtually any brainlet/6th grader can easily understand plebs such as Kant, Aquinas or Hegel provided they actually read them, and not even 1% understand even basic calculus. Also being a good philosopher means being good mathematician, see Plato, Aristotle, Thales of Miletus and many other greeks.

But does math allow you to shitpost on a annonymous Siberian dating website? Checkmate atheists

techniques and methods used to research history can be defined as science as all claims have to be peer reviewed and scrutinized to be taken seriously just like most scientific journals.

history itself is not a science.

Good pasta. Have a (You).

history and archaeology are gradually less speculative narratives and interpretations of the past constrained more and more through time on growing data sets. history and archaeology require an active engagement with philosophy (particularly of epistemology) and theoretical developments as well as data collection and hypothesis testing in a more traditional Baconian sense
