		In the pr e-modern rhetorical tradition of metahistory truth was conceptualised and prescribed for the historians as a moral attitude of historiographers and a rhetorical principle of their historiography.
		There is one term in the recent discourse of metahistory which i ndicates the retreat of objectivity from the field of historical studies (at least in the perspective of the metahistorical reflection of its constitutive principles): fictionality.
		Metahistory, which asks for its principles, transgresses the traditional methodology focussing on objectivity into the poetics and rhetorics of historiography and historical representation focussing on subjectivity.

	MetaHistory - About Us
		His principal goal is to catalyze a steadily growing dialogue between Metahistory Quest and individuals and organizations committed to change, to a sane and sustainable future for all species.
		At Metahistory Quest we are deeply concerned with the spiritual crisis facing humanity, a crisis whose main symptom are alienation from nature, mindless consumption of natural resources, and enslavement (individually and collectively) to everything that enhances our delusional sense of control and our narcissistic self-concern.
		Metahistory enables us to go beyond the conditioning of our histories, the ensemble of personal, familial, racial, cultural and collective scripts that bind us to divisive attitudes and destructive behavior.

		Metahistory is a method for looking into the content and composition of these scripts and stories to see how they drive behavior.
		Metahistory goes beyond a mere recounting of facts and events, and even beyond the interpretation of these facts and events.
		To enhance and encourage this adventure in learning, metahistory provides a visionary path toward all that is truly excellent, and truly humane, in the striving of the human spirit.

		In case you were wondering, metahistory does have a presence on the World Wide Thingee.

	May 1998
		Evaluation of the influence of Hayden White on the theory of history is made difficult by his preference for the essay form, valued for its experimental character, and by the need to find comparable data.
		A crisis of our age that is usually identified with the loss of the sacred was one of the causes of the fall into irony in the nineteenth century.
		In the case of historians, as Hayden White has shown in Metahistory, this irony was caused by a "bitterness" stemming from the failure of reality to fulfill their expectations.

	Emergence and the Metahistory of Efficiency
		I tend to think that the sense of surprise is more perceptual, one part determined by the visual systems of human beings and one part determined by an intellectual metahistory that runs so deep into the infrastructure of our daily lives that we find it difficult to confront.
		It may be instead that excess is the key, vastly easier to achieve, and often the natural or unintended consequence of feedback in both human and natural systems.
		The metahistory that I think I see lurking in the foundations here is a tricky one, and a lot of effort will be required to bring it to light.

	Pop Occulture » Joanna Harcourt-Smith Interview
		I first encountered Joanna’s work through the website Metahistory, which features a lot of contemporary gnostic material and some really interesting stuff on analyzing belief systems, and moving towards healthier alternatives from those that are pushed on us.
		In the sixties and seventies, as a generation of young rebels we shook the maracas and rattles of change, and the vibration of that era is still echoing through the world for those whose ears and hearts are open wide.
		Metahistory proposes stories that offer an alternative to MTV and Fox News, not to mention religion and centuries of blind cultural conditioning.

		Theories of Historiography Metahistory In his book Metahistory, White suggests that historical discourse is a form of fiction writing that can be classified and studied on the basis of its structure and its language.
		In general, Metahistory is the philosophy of history, and it examines the various principles giving rise to the notion of historical progression and the narratives that describe it.
		White sees metahistory as a term and as a form of writing that is similar to metafiction and metanarrative, and that objective history is impossible.

	MetaHistory - Eternal Conflict
		In the arch of metahistory, the left-hand side represents the long passage from evolutionary roots in prehistory to the recorded origins of civilization.
		Long before the first evidence of historical origins — for instance, the earliest traces of the first Dynasty in Egypt, dated to around 3400 BCE — the human species had been engaged in defining itself as distinct from nature, forming settlements and societies, introducing culture.
		In Greek myth, Europa, a goddess in human form, was the mother of King Minos, one of the male figureheads of Cretan civilization.

		But, as metahistory deconstructs, what gets worked into the canon of primary sources is what "fits" as acceptably important sources, according to the bias of tenured history professors.
		The "MetaHistory" boys argue that traditional history, with its emphasis on alpha males, courts politics, and the wars between superpowers, presents a limited view of the human experience—only "the dimensions of history [that historians] prefer to look at." Metahistory seems to be a sort of johnny-come-lately to Postmodernism.
		If the little guy is important because he's who we come from, it doesn't change the fact that the little guy's life was dramatically impacted by the generals, kings, and other dead white heterosexuals who sent him off to war or marched an army across his stupid little farm.

		Turns out John Lash of Metahistory was on Coast-to-Coast talking about Grays as Archons and possible Gnostic texts that discuss alien abduction and so forth.
		Metahistory does indeed place the Grays in Gnostic terms, and suggests that methods like kundalini are a sort of “defense” against these powers.
		I personally think that Metahistory is a great reference for people who are already involved in gnosticism, but I think they’re trying to use a battering ram to open a catflap.

		Metahistory is the quest for a future myth about humanity, a story of our own making that aligns our hearts and minds to intimacy with Gaia, the living earth.
		Having realized that humanity is a species endangered by its beliefs, we propose to go beyond history, ever mindful that the path ahead is not ours alone, not solely a human prerogative, but the way of all sentient beings.
		The shift for the human species now is less a change of events than a change in how events are told, a passage into mythmaking that can inspire in us a future worth living....

		The purpose of the Metahistory project seems to be to encourage people to critically examine their beliefs, and the stories on which they are founded.
		Their protest against the insane and inhumane features of salvationist faith is consistent with the focus of Metahistory.
		Metahistory can be defined by what it is against – namely, unexamined beliefs such as belief in a male creator god who makes the human species “in his image” - but also by what it is for.

		The concept of metahistory is one of the most important archetypes, laying at the basis of the traditional imaginations of the historical process.
		The concept of metahistory itself consists of the necessity of taking into account informational and energy connections between the worlds of the multidimensional reality in order to understand the historical process and forecast the ways of the development of the human civilisation.
		Yet, the most important thing is the rapid destruction of the variety of the national cultures, traditions and the establishment of the cosmopolitan, mass human being – a submissive screw of the globalisation.

	Hyperboreans ~ View topic - Metahistory
		All historical writings (in a narrative form) entail a philosophy that validates the particular style of narrative.
		Ergo, it follows that the common ground between narrative history and the philosophy of history, where both attempt to understand, describe and explain what happened, is metahistory.
		Concerns of metahistory are the structure of the historical perception and the epistemological nature of historical explanations.

	Untitled Document
		Among the four tropes which Hayden White uses to characterize the dominant modes of historical thinking in the modern Western world - metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche and irony - the trope of irony seems to lay at the heart of White's own understanding of history.
		In Hayden White's Metahistory the great 19th century historian Jacob Burckhardt is presented as a moral failure, but not an intellectual one.
		If we accept the validity of Hayden White's harsh judgement upon Burckhardt, and his picture of him as "a superb analyst of the phenomena of cultural decline" (264), but unfortunately, with his historical works implicitly promoting Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy and thereby "a reactionary, pessimistic and egoistic world-view" (238) this would have far-reaching philosophical consequences.

		Metahistory Quest is a fascinating site collecting many writings on beliefs, religion, visions, and the nexus between Gnosticism, alien archons, and the Christian Redemer Complex.
		They also host a large lexicon of terms relating to the study of Metahistory, including a fine entry on Salvationism.
		In short, I am saying that salvationist religion is not a religion in any true sense of the word: it is political ideology in the disguise of religion.

		In this excerpt, Bill Plotkin looks deeply into the question of our "wisdom endowment" (as it is called in Metahistory): that is, the unique truth, passion, and wisdom born innately in each of us.
		Consistent with the assumptions of Metahistory, he explains that the story is directed by our consciousness through constructs such as perceptions, beliefs and intentions.

	Kestrel’s Nest — A weblog by Eric Wagoner » The Institute of Metahistory
		Thanks to Bifurcated Rivets, I read through the site for the Institute of Metahistory.
		The Institute of Metahistory unites people who believe that the existing ideas of the past of the human civilization can be wrong in many respects, since they were evolved on the basis of data which can hardly be considered exhaustive, and bear the imprint of a vast number of stereotypes.
		We think that as a result of closer cooperation between different sciences, the renunciation of biased opinions and the arrogant confidence that modern science, at least basically, knows everything about everything, a fuller and more reliable picture of the past of the human civilization could be reconstructed.
