Volney is a collection of lectures on historical analysis and methodology written in the late 19th century. The work primarily addresses the nature of history as a science, its limitations, and the way historical narratives shape societal beliefs and opinions. It aims to advocate for a critical approach toward historical texts, urging readers to question their sources and the motives behind them. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for Volney's discussions by outlining his intentions and the philosophical underpinnings of his analysis. He argues that history should not be accepted blindly but scrutinized through a lens of skepticism, emphasizing that many of our beliefs and erroneous ideas stem from unexamined historical narratives. Volney delineates the challenges historians face in establishing truth, as historical events can only be conveyed through the testimony of others, which is always subject to bias and distortion. He stresses the importance of examining the credibility of historical sources and the influence of context on their narratives, ultimately aiming to prepare readers to engage with history in a more thoughtful and discerning manner.
