Jul 27, 2013 at 0:57 comment added Oliver Schöning @BabyDragon That sounds awesome, I gotta find that!
Jul 27, 2013 at 0:57 comment added Oliver Schöning @prash Ah yes.. I suppose I do have that problem on SE often..
Jul 26, 2013 at 23:10 comment added Baby Dragon This post reminds me a a story a friend told me about where some archeologists in the future were studying our time. They found what we would recognize as toilets, but the archeologists concluded that they were alters.
Jul 26, 2013 at 22:35 comment added prash This reads less like a question, and more like an invitation for a discussion. Not a good fit for the SE format, methinks.
Jul 26, 2013 at 18:24 comment added stoicfury I don't think this is necessarily best fit for history.SE. For starters, please read W.K. Clifford's "The Ethics of Belief" (here is a shortened version of it; I think the longer one is still a good read if you can find it). Then, see SEP's entry by the same name: The Ethics of Belief

Jul 26, 2013 at 17:49 comment added Ben If your question is how historical claims are justified, then it is more fit for the history SE (although it could to some extent be a philosophy of science question). Historiography certainly isn't based on ad populum arguments; it is much more complex than you make it seem here. I would suggest reading into an introduction to historical criticism and historiography first.
