| Summary |
"Introduction aux études historiques" by Ch.-V. Langlois and Ch. Seignobos is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a guide to the methodology of historical studies, emphasizing the processes and conditions necessary for effective historical inquiry. It aims to clarify the importance of critical examination and logical reasoning in the pursuit of historical knowledge. At the start of the text, the authors outline their intention to provide a practical introduction to historical studies, distinct from previous works that either summarize universal history or philosophize about historical processes. They emphasize the central role of documents in constructing historical narratives, and they introduce the concept of "heuristics," the systematic search for and critical treatment of primary sources. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the techniques and principles that underpin the discipline of history, making it accessible to novices while still relevant for seasoned scholars.
