 That Noble Dream
Objectivity, in Novick’s telling, lies at the heart of the professional historical venture: it was the rock on which the profession was founded and it has been the ideal by which historians have defined themselves and judged the work of their peers.
In the first place, "the war posed a fundamental and sweeping challenge to the profession’s posture of disinterested objectivity; to its pride in the distinction between the tendentious, superpatriotic, and propagandistic historical writing of benighted amateurs, and the austere detachment and evenhandedness of the professional" (111).
Within the historical profession, scholars are constantly looking over one another’s shoulders in order to evaluate our collective practices, and our standards of evaluation are based in large part on our understanding of what it means to be "objective." Questions of practice are therefore integral to the debate on objectivity.
