History Is a History of Value Judgments

It has been asserted that the historian himself cannot avoid judgments of value. He must, in this sense, be neutral with regard to any value judgments. This postulate of vertfre hight can easily be satisfied in the field of aprioristic science and praxiology. It is much more difficult to comply with the requirement of valuational neutrality in history. History can never be any else than distortion of facts. Only upon discovering truth.
