Collection of Data Answer: (D) Read the
following passage carefully and answer questions 5 to 10: All
historians are interpreters of text if they be private letters, Government
records or parish birthlists or whatever. For most kinds of historians, these
are only the necessary means to understanding something other than the texts
themselves, such as a political action or a historical trend, whereas for the
intellectual historian, a full understanding of his chosen texts is itself
the aim of his enquiries. Of course, the intellectual history
is particularly prone to draw on the focus of other disciplines that are
habitually interpreting texts for purposes of their own, probing the
reasoning that ostensibly connects premises and conclusions. Furthermore, the
boundaries with adjacent subdisciplines are shifting and indistinct: the
history of art and the history of science both claim a certain autonomy,
partly just because they require specialised technical skills, but both can
also be seen as part of a wider intellectual history, as is evident when one
considers, for example, the common stock of knowledge about cosmological
beliefs or moral ideals of a period. Like
all historians, the intellectual historian is a consumer rather than a producer
of ‘methods’. His distinctiveness lies in which aspect of the past he is
trying to illuminate, not in having exclusive possession of either a corpus
of evidence or a body of techniques. That being said, it does seem that the
label ‘intellectual history’ attracts a disproportionate share of
misunderstanding. It
is alleged that intellectual history is the history of something that never
really mattered. The long dominance of the historical profession by political
historians bred a kind of philistinism, an unspoken belief that power and its
exercise was ‘what mattered’. The prejudice was reinforced by the assertion
that political action was never really the outcome of principles or ideas
that were ‘more flapdoodle’. The legacy of this precept is still discernible
in the tendency to require ideas to have ‘licensed’ the political class
before they can be deemed worthy of intellectual attention, as if there were
some reasons why the history of art or science, of philosophy or literature,
were somehow of interest and significance than the history of Parties or
Parliaments. Perhaps in recent years the mirror-image of this philistinism
has been more common in the claim that ideas of any one is of systematic
expression or sophistication do not matter, as if they were only held by a
minority. Answer the
