Features: The epistemology of history is a cutting-edge field in contemporary historical philosophy, and the objectivity of historical cognition is one of the central and most challenging issues in this field. The author of this book provides a detailed examination of various viewpoints of scholars at home and abroad on this issue. Guided by Marxist philosophy, he constructs a solution to the problem of the objectivity of historical cognition and makes unique explorations into the epistemological foundations of humanities and social sciences. This book is the first academic monograph on the objectivity of historical cognition written by Chinese scholars. Rich in materials, independent in thought, and rigorous in logic, it is one of the three major features of the book. Professor Huang Nansen and Professor Zhao Jiakang provided guidance on the writing of this book and wrote the preface for its publication.
