This second volume of Chris Lorenz's research and reflections in the field of history theory and comparative history of historiography covers a broad thematic journey, from national histories to demitologization tasks, to representations of identity, conceptual history and modern and contemporary German historiography. In this way, this book is an adequate continuation and extension of Volume 1, which presents the author's inquiry into the relationship between history and theory, historical knowledge, the narrative philosophies of history and the relationships between truth and objectivity.
