Discussion
In Ranke's view, what is the primary role of the historian ?
Answer: C
For Ranke, the historian's role was To uncover and state the historical facts.
Leopold von Ranke famously said the historian's task was to show the past 'wie es eigentlich gewesen' (as it actually was), through critical study of original documents, especially archival sources, rather than to pass judgement or draw lessons.
Interpretation and critique were the concerns of later schools, and entertainment was the opposite of his scientific, document-based ideal.
