 THE NATURE OF HISTORY AS A
DISCIPLINE
History is derived from 3 foreign words:
1.) Historia (Latin) – which means “inquiry
or investigation”.
2.) Historie (French) – which means
“knowing”.
3.) Histor/Istor (Greek) – which means
“learned or wise man”.
 Requisites for events to be considered
historically significant:
1.) Events should be based on facts.
2.) Events should be past human events.
3.) Events should be definite in time and
place.
4.) Events should be social in nature.
5.) Events should be socially significant.
History – is the art and science of
investigating and recording past
human events that are definite in
time and place, social in
nature, and socially significant.
 3 Basic Sources of History
1.) Written records – diaries, newspapers,
chronicles, journals, etc.
- “no document, no history”

2.) Oral traditions – epics, legends, folktales,

riddles, myths, etc.

3.) Relics – skeletal remains, stone tools,

coins, pottery, etc.
 Classification of Sources
1.) Primary Sources – sources produced at the same time as the
event, period, or subject being studied. E.g.
archival documents, photographs ,
memorabilia, drawings, oral history
(eyewitness), letters, census, government records, etc.

2.) Secondary sources – sources produced by an author who

used primary sources to produced the
material. E. g. books, articles, journals, etc.
The historian should be able to conduct
an external and internal criticism of the
sources…
External criticism – the practice of
verifying the authenticity of evidence by
examining its physical characteristics.
Internal criticism – the examination of
the truthfulness of the evidence.

history?
So, why study history? The following among others will answer
for us:
1. Rizal: “In order to read the destiny of the people, it is necessary
to open the book of its past.”
2. Morga: “ It is necessary first to make known to us the past in
order that we may be able to judge better the present.”
Filipino/Tagalog Saying: “ Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa
pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.”(Loosely
Translated: “One who does not look back to where he came from
will never reach his own destination.”)
4. Karl Heinz-Hansen: “A people not prepared
to face his own past cannot manage its own
future:”
5. Agoncillo: “If you are afraid of the truth,
don’t go to history.”
6. George Santayana: “ Those who can not
remember the past are condemn to repaeat it:”
7. John Mchale: “The future of the past is in
the future; the future of the present is in the
past; the future of the future is in the
present:”
8. William Allan White: “I am not afraid of
tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I
love today:”
9. Anonymous: “I am just catching up with
yesterday for tomorrow I shall be ready for
today:”
10. Lourd de Vera: “Ang taong walang
kasaysayan ay walang saysay.”

11. Oliver Windell Holmes: “What is important

in this world is not so much where we stand
but to which direction we are moving.”
