What is History? To make sense of history, it is necessary


to first understand what it is all about. Many people think that history is merely lists of names, dates, places and “important” events. However,
history or the study of history is more than just knowing and memorizing facts. It is a historian’s duty to draw insights from the ideas and
realities that have shaped the lives of men and women and the society. And in understanding these ideas, a historian (or, in fact, a student of
history) can comprehend how situations happened, identify their elements, and think of how these situations can solve today’s pre-dicaments
and help plan for the future. The study of history, therefore, is the study of the beliefs and desires, practices, and institutions of human beings.
With this definition, history becomes an active factor in the study of Philippine society. It also includes a look into the development of Philippine
culture through time especially with the influences of the colonial period that would eventually shape the present Philippine identity. Why Study
History? An examination of the past can tell us a great deal about how we came to be who we are. It means looking at the roots of modern
institutions, ideas, values, and problems. Studying history allows us to gain valuable perspectives on the problems of our modern society. Many
problems, features, and characteristics of modern Philippine society can be traced back to historical questions on our colonial past, as well as
our pre-colonial culture.Dec 31,2017 Looking at the past teaches us to see the world through different eyes －appreciating the diversity of
human perceptions, beliefs, and cultures. Different and/or new perspectives will enable us to analyze critically the present contexts of society
and beings.

Excerpts from Understanding History: A Primer of Historical Method by Louis Gottschalk (1950, New York: Knopf, p. 17)

The English word history is derived from the Greek noun istoia, meaning learning. As used by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, history meant a
systematic account of a set of natural phenomena, whether or not chronological factoring was a factor in the account…. In the course of time,
however, the equivalent Latin word scientia (English, science) came to be used more regularly to designate non-chronological systematic
accounts of natural phenomena; and the word history was reserved usually for accounts of phenomena (especially human affairs) in
chronological order.

By its most common definition, the word history now means, “the past of mankind.”…
