The aspiration to relate the past 'as it really happened' has been the central goal of American professional historians since the late nineteenth century. In this remarkable history of the profession, Peter Novick shows how the idea and ideal of objectivity were elaborated, challenged, modified, and defended over the last century. Drawing on the unpublished correspondence as well as the published writings of hundreds of American historians from J. Franklin Jameson and Charles Beard to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Eugene Genovese, That Noble Dream is a richly textured account of what American historians have thought they were doing, or ought to be doing, when they wrote history - how their principles influenced their practice and practical exigencies influenced their principles.

终于看到中译本了，值得庆贺，值得现在的中国学界思考， 提些小问题，翻译人名的不统一在原文中情况较重，比如在P582页对Howard Zinn的翻译不统一，原文为金恩，注释里成了齐恩。还有些翻译惯例，比如美国国务卿史丁生，杨先生翻译为斯蒂姆森等。 本书人名众多，如果不是专攻美...

用户评价
作者选择角度非常厉害，把自己置于“insider”和“outsider”之间。有很强的哲学功底，但于此同时作为历史学家不满于哲学界对于“historical truth”的肤浅解读；作为一个在美国任教的欧洲史学家写一本关于美国历史学的学科史，强调欧洲的思想和战事如何反过来影响了美国历史学界对自己的认知。作者的目的不是abolish objectivity，而是展现objectivity作为一个学科的终极追求是如何在20世纪历史语境下被不断地阐释，反思和复杂化，虽然这些反思很少在历史领域里被理论化。Source不是没有问题（比如确实没有cover西岸的学校），但是这个角度站稳了，其他的都是瑕不掩瑜。比他写的那本American Holocaust的书扎实太多了，完全刷新了我对他的认知。
评分Such an important topic, such a huge and dense book. It's interesting to realize that the fragmentation among historians parallels the "coming apart" of the American society in general. But I wonder if the sense of past unity is actually an illusion--nostalgia for the imaginary "good old days", and the result of increasing social diversity.
