It's a pretty straightforward question.
My opinion is that it does in some way, as the liberal ideal is utopianism and an understanding of history makes it all the more clear that man is an imperfect thing and not able to be made perfect Thoughts? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Wouldn't you have to have a general liking for history in order to spend that much time studying? I'm not talking for Zach, but for myself. I read those history books and am an avid history lover.
And Poli Sci definitely must study history and the history of politics for our degrees. Well over half of my poli sci classes were history oriented. Hell, we study the history of the political scheme in certain districts, you must know the history of a district in order to figure how the votes will swing.l |
