Stefan Tanaka Translator: İbrahim Turan

Abstract

Professor Dr. Stefan Tanaka, in his recent book "History Without Chronology"; examines concepts such as time, history of time, absolute time, linear-progressive time, multiple time, relativity, objectivity, history of history, and change, etc. In this book, he discusses how metric chronology based history damages the discipline of history, and proposed a new historical approach which is free from metric chronology but continues including natural chronology. In this translated work, with the permission of the author, the last two sections of the book in which the author summarizes the concepts and arguments he has discussed extensively in the book, have been translated into Turkish.

Kronolojisiz Tarih

Abstract

Prof. Dr. Stefan Tanaka bu kitabında; zaman, zamanın tarihi, mutlak zaman, doğrusal-ilerlemeci zaman, çoklu zaman, görelilik, nesnellik, tarihin tarihi, değişim gibi kavramları irdeler. Metrik kronoloji temelli bir yazım ve öğretiminin tarih disiplinine neden ve nasıl zarar verdiği konularını tartışmaya açarak metrik kronolojiden arındırılmış ancak kendi deyimiyle doğal kronolojiyi içermeye devam eden bir tarih yaklaşımı önerir. Bu çalışmada yazardan alınan izin ile ile “History Without Chronology” kitabının bir nevi özeti olan son iki başlığı Türkçe’ye çevrilmiştir.
