"The Thinking Historian" by Eric W. Sager offers an in-depth exploration of the question of what history is and how historians construct their narratives. In an era where historical knowledge is often sidelined, the book highlights the challenges faced by history educators. It argues that history is a form of thinking and creative consideration shaped by its own logic. Using examples from significant historical works, it defines key elements of historical thinking, including contingency, complexity, temporality, and perspectives. These concepts are summarized under the term creative consideration. The book calls for recognition of the ethical imperatives that historians must observe, thus providing a valuable perspective on the role of history in today's society. It is an invitation to reflect on the significance of history for our shared future.
