DESCRIPTION:<p>A central question that has inspired my work is: What is historiography for? In other words\, what is the fundamental rationale of researching and writing history? I argue that there is no non-inferential description and knowledge\, and that the dichotomy between pure description (of facts or other matters of fact) and interpretation is false. Instead\, the dichotomy should be between old (inferential) and new(er) (inferential) descriptions. Both old and new inferential descriptions rely on different presuppositions\, or perhaps on the presuppositions of different times. That all description is inferential is important regarding the rationale of historiography. Historiography at its best is rational criticism\, which &lsquo\;unmasks&rsquo\; old descriptions and their presuppositions\, and proposes new rationally warranted to replace them.</p>
