Abstract: A significant part of the work of academic historians since the professionalization of the discipline of history in the nineteenth century has been to define what ‘history’ is as an academic discipline with regard to its neighbouring disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This miniature argues that the politics of disciplinary identity formation is a strong explanation for the often apathetic and sometimes hostile reaction by empiricist historians to the emergence within the philosophy of history of ‘postmodernism’.
