Document Summary
Eg. cannot say a poem has x amount of good points. Over time, qualitative measurements change while quantitative stays the same. Formal information used to be categorized in three ways: Able to identify what exactly you are studying. Medicine then adapted a method in which they looked further into the body. Showed them what we know isn"t all we need to know. Health is a relative idea - different for everyone. Humanities look at the horizon of what we know. Scientific method became the measure of the given disciplines truth. As time went on, list of rules got longer. In order to improve, you must know your mistake. Allows us to recognize what we expect something to be. History becomes history when it mirrors our current age. Arbitrary storytelling in the way we see it today. Impossible for a historian to know exactly every piece of information in history. The possession becomes the possessor - preservation by eliminating use.
