The Formation and Evolution of the Koguryŏ-centric Perception of the International Order
Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2005, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the primary goals of the field of historical studies is the restoration of history. The task of identifying phenomena based on the facts found in various historical materials, which is referred to as the critical analysis of historical data, has long been regarded as a justifiable and objective form of methodology. However, as these historical materials reflect the subjective viewpoint of the person(s) who wrote them, the process of selecting the data which is important, as well as the interpretation of this data, is naturally imbibed with a high degree of subjectivity.
