During the last two hundred years’ history has been developed into an autonomous discipline, a system of knowledge which can be legitimately considered as a kind of science. But no knowledge can be scientific, if that is not science. Those who think that history is a science, no more no less, regard objectivity as imperative for history. Objectivity is a generic term, therefore, when we use the word objectivity to explain historical reality; it is different from the objectivity of science. For a scientist, he deals with external things without allowing his personal feeling, attitudes, thoughts to influence his analysis and explanation. But history can never be objective in this sense of the term, because the historian and his subject matter cannot be separated from each other. But one can achieve objectivity in terms of impartiality and impersonality, as distinct from propaganda or motive oriented history.
