C/H/13. Approaches to History: 'The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling classes'. [the communist manifesto, 1848] How far does power influence the production of historical knowledge?

WORDS:
1500
DATE:
2007
PRICE:
19.99 GBP

This essay will argue justice, punishment, rule of law and the autonomy of the individual are governed and identified by a history created by the oligarchy. Nietzsche and Marx argue that the rule of law through morality is a method to support the will of the moral elite's rule and creators of history. This society strengthened itself through institutionalizing these morals in rules of law and when this point in history is achieved society is strong, but the autonomy of the individual is overridden unless part of the moral elite. The moral elite holds a certain amount of autonomy and one of the indicators of this position is the ability to mete out mercy. There are theorists, such as Durkheim and Weber that argue that individuals can forge a new set of morals and principles that re-writes history and eliminate their position of subservience. This essay will explore these arguments and look at the definition of law, which has been written by the history of the elite to enslave the masses.

C/H/20. Does David Irving symbolize a crisis in history?

WORDS:
2650
DATE:
2007
PRICE:
29.99 GBP

This discussion is not going to explore whether David Irving is right in his view in regards to his denial of the extremes that occurred within the Holocaust, rather it is going to ask whether he has the right to deny it. The crisis in history in the case of David Irving may not be the fact that he denied the Holocaust, but the fact that he was imprisoned for this belief. The question of whether one believes David Irving or not is the evidence that we have to produce, but both sides of the argument has to be available for the individual to discern for themselves. If evidence, such as David Irving's, is suppressed this breeds ignorance and greater danger of anti-Semitic believes and incitement and as Lipstadt argues his view should not be suppressed by the law, but exposed academics rebuttal through evidence and truth.

 

KEYWORDS: Irving, Lipstadt, Holocaust, Holocaust Denial, Freedom of Expression, Nietzsche, Marx,
