  CER | Book Review: A biography of enigmatic historian E H Carr
The name E H Carr still provokes varied responses reflective of the many aspects of his career.
Carr would live out the remainder of his life as a Fellow of Trinity College at Cambridge, constantly quarreling and convinced of capitalism's imminent demise.
Had Carr lived long enough to see the passing of the old guard, one wonders what he would have turned to when the revolution he believed to be the true carrier of the world's future vanished without a trace just a few short years later.

 Edward Hallett Carr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Hallett Carr (1892–1982) was a British historian and international relations theorist.

 Reappraisals: What is History?
In the end Carr realises how close to the postempiricist wind he is running, so he rejects Collingwood's insistence on the empathic and constitutive historian, replacing her with another who, while accepting the model of a dialogue between past events and future trends, still believes a sort of objectivity can be achieved.
The American historian James D. Winn accepts this Carr model of the objective historian when he says that deconstructionist historians "...tend to flog extremely dead horses" as they accuse other historians of believing history is knowable, that words reflect reality, and their un-reflexive colleagues still insist on seeing the facts of history objectively.
For most objective historians of the Carr variety, his thinking provides a more sympathetic definition of history than the positivist one it has replaced, simply because it is more conducive to the empirical historical method, and one which appears to be a reasoned and legitimate riposte to the deconstructive turn.

Carr's classic work on international relations published in 1939 was immediately recognized by friend and foe alike as a defining work.
Here's a case in point: Carr spends nearly the entire book ripping apart utopianism and pluralism, as any "good realist" would be apt to do, only to reach the last chapter where he declares liberalism is the only hope for mankind.
But E.H. Carr preceded both these fine gentlemen, and Carr is at his finest here displaying a sarcastic wit and overall nasty tone in ripping apart the overly idealistic liberal position adopted by Wilson, Kellogg or Briand, who really thought that world peace could be had through ineffectual action via international organizations and...

This is the Carr who: viewed the nation-state as obsolescent; who saw sovereignty as ever more blurred and indistinct; who argued for the sacrificing of economic advantage for social ends and the extension of these social ends beyond the national frontier; who maintained that 'the main unifying purpose in the contemporary world...
Carr's basic theme was that the foundations of the nineteenth century international order had collapsed, and that the doctrines of international law, international morality, and international organisation that were current in the interwar period failed to take account of this fact.
Carr disparaged the nineteenth century liberal view of progress based on the rational utility-maximising individual, not on the grounds that it was wrong per se, but on the grounds that the conditions in which it could take root and thrive no longer existed.

When Ranke in the 1830's, in legitimate protest against moralizing history, remarked that the task of the historian was "simply to show how it really was (wie es eigentlich gewesen)" this not very profound aphorism had an astonishing success.

Professor Munslow contends that 'Carr's insistence that history should be politically relevant was an inspiration in the heady days of 1968.
But it also brought problems, especially in its linkage with the idea that the vast majority of human beings in the past were of no interest to the historian because they had made no contribution to political change.
Alun Munslow also writes a reappraisal of E.H. Carr's work and 'his contribution to the analytical philosophy of history' in particular.
