| Summary: | This book, edited by Verónica Tozzi and Julio Bentivoglio, examines the impact and influence of Hayden White's seminal work, 'Metahistory', on the philosophy of history. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the compilation includes essays that explore White's theories of historical narrative and figural realism. The contributors analyze how White's concepts challenge traditional historiography by emphasizing the literary aspects of historical writing. The book aims to further academic discourse on historical theory and is intended for scholars and students of history and philosophy. It provides a platform for understanding the ethical and epistemic implications of historical narratives, especially in contexts such as Argentina’s transition from dictatorship to democracy.
