Studying the works of many noteworthy historians is shown to expose a story about the tendencies of their thought. It is a work of historiography tracing the development of the American historical profession, identifying the professional norms of their practice, and presenting a series of arguments about the profession's objectives and concerns over the "Objectivity Question". Novick asserts his work has no unifying thesis (17). While this and other efforts at full disclosure are considerable, his stated purpose divulges his goal to do more than merely enlighten the reader. "The book's aim is to provoke my fellow historians to greater self-consciousness about the nature of our work," Novick wrote of his motivation (17).

Appiah says “language helps shape common responses” (73). He gives you examples about how it is important to have conversation even if we do not always agree with what the other is saying it is still important to communicate. Appiah is a philosopher and uses a lot of his own ideas, personal stories, historical events, and current events to back up his essay. In “Making Conversation”, he introduces the idea of cosmopolitanism. He first introduces it by taking us back into history.

This doesn't really fit in with the rest of the idea process, but it was an interesting outlook I stumbled upon whilst brooding. That Aristotle's made his views of rhetoric appeal to the greats in order for it to be passed along, not that he though only the greats should be privy to his ideas. Whether this is the case or not stands to be disputed, but why
Thucydides, Greek historian as well as a participant, writes of The Peloponnesian War and offers insight into the Athenians thoughts on why they feel it appropriate to ignore what others consider to be just or right. The Athenians believe that mere strength and power automatically grants them the authority to do as they wish and qualifies those actions as justice; and likewise those who are weaker are left no alternative than to endure what is dealt them (Newton). It is imperative to the Athenians that their subjects never think them weak, so when the Melians offered to maintain a neutral position, in order to avoid becoming involved in the ongoing dispute between the Athenian empire and the Spartan led Peloponnesian League; the Athenian’s response was an absolute no. Justice, in this case, was seen as something that was called for by the Melians, the weaker of two parties, only as a vehicle for self-preservation, and nothing more.
Well, maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh, I couldn’t understand what he was trying to say. The majority of what he was explaining came from other stories in which he didn’t relay, so unless you’re a master in philosophy then you would need to go back and find these stories to read, and then go back and read Beckman; that is how it looks to me anyways. He does however use passages from the tales in which I did not know, which kind of gave me a clue on what was going on. So in short, this book was beyond me. Smart man Beckman gets an A+ from those who can understand him, but a D from those who didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.
