WHAT ARE “HISTORY” AND
“HISTORICAL SOURCES"
The Meaning of “History”
‘Tae Became word story i dexved fern the Grek
noun lorena, meaning leartng. A used by tne Greek
philosopher Aristotle, history meant a systematic 3e-
hunt of = set of natal phenomena, whether or not
hednologial ordering was 2 facor in the account,
tnd that usage, though rr, sll prevails in English
fin the phrase natural history Inthe couse of time,
howere, the equivalent Latin word sient (English,
seience) came to be used more regula to designate
otchronologica systematic acount of natural phe
omens; and the word hitry was reserved ostally
for avcounts of phenomena (espeilly human: sf
faim) in chronological onde
By its mort common definition, the word tory
ow means "the past of mankind.” Compare the Ger
rman word for htory — Ceshicts,waich is derived
from geschehen, meaning t9 happen. Geschichte i
that which het happened. This meaning of the word
