The Trusting Narrative is a philosophical and poetic essay on the rich possibilities of this highly sensitive and ambiguous adventure that constitutes historiography.
It focuses on the concept and act of trust, which, although historically being an integral part of every human endeavor, today touches upon and is studied across all fields of scientific research.
Within this framework, the book seeks to establish its decisive contribution to every historical/historiographical approach.
It is this trust that processes the testimonies of the past and the evaluations of the present, not through an algorithmic mechanism, often unconsciously ideologically biased, but under a distinctly person-centered perspective, highlighting precisely the extremely human and thus always pending, enigmatic dimensions of these testimonies.
The historian's trust in himself, the historical sources he investigates, as well as his own historiographical composition, along with the readers' trust in the historian, constitute the fourfold axis around which each historiographical attempt to reflect upon time, place, and human actions is proposed to be viewed.
