在一个大屠杀和超现实的时代，历史学家的道德责任是什么？一个人能成为后现代主义者，同时还能书写历史吗？历史应该为谁而写？作者通过“异逻辑史学家”的形象来探讨这些问题。这位历史学家意识到，从哲学上讲，永远不可能恢复“真正发生的事情”，但他承认，为那些被剥夺了自由的人说话是一种道德责任。这本书还权衡了现代档案方法的影响，如照片，电影和互联网，这些方法给历史的书写带来了新的限制，并要求对社区有不同的看法。借鉴大陆哲学家，史学家，认知科学家和电影制片人的作品，这本书为理解历史和历史学家的道德责任创造了一个框架。
What are the ethical responsibilities of the historian in an age of mass murder and hyper-reality? Can one be postmodern and still write history? For whom should history be written? The author explores these questions through the figure of the "heterological historian". Realizing the philosophical impossibilities of ever recovering "what really happened", this historian nevertheless acknowledges a moral imperative to speak for those who have been rendered voiceless. The book also weighs the impact of modern archival methods, such as photographs, film and the Internet, which bring with them new constraints on the writing of history and which mandate a different vision of community. Drawing on the works of continental philosophers, historiographers, cognitive scientists and filmmakers, the book creates a framework for the understanding of history and the ethical duties of the historian.
