Miller）；巴黎高等研究實踐學院研究中心主任讓-路易‧貢當（Jean-Louis Quantin）；劍橋學派政治思想史創始人昆丁‧史金納（Quentin Skinner）八場對話，八位專家，藉由年輕學者的提問，洞悉如何突破既有思維，開拓全新視野！如何運用既有資源，規劃未來藍圖！ 本書作者亞歷山大‧貝維拉夸和費德里克‧克拉克兩位年輕學者，訪問八位當代歷史學界的大師。他們彼此來自不同的史學領域，包含書籍史、科學史、非西方知識傳統的歷史、學術史、哲學史、古物學和物質文化的歷史、宗教史、以及政治思想史。 透過問答訪談的形式，這些學者述說了他們投身歷史學的經驗，如何看待過去與現在的聯繫？如何突破既有的思惟，開創全新的視野？與談人之一的吉爾‧克雷耶教授，曾經在瓦堡研究所圖書館擔任十六年圖書館員。作為一位圖書館員，她必須掌握圖書館內所藏的書籍，讓她了解到學習歷史不能侷限在自己的舒適圈，要像一間圖書館一樣結合歷史、藝術、文學、哲學、科學等領域，才能臻於至善。 本書揭露歷史學家寫作背後的心路歷程，訴說他們的思想深度與廣度，不僅為以學術為志業的人們，提供一盞指引前路的燈火，更向大眾展現歷史學的本質，引領我們重新思考看待世界的方式！訪談學者簡介安‧布萊爾（Ann M.
