Abstract
Abstract The teaching of history in school can be justified only if what is taught offers its recipients an introduction to historical thinking. Despite the increasingly multifarious activities of historians, and despite a major philosophical debate concerning the premises upon which historians work, it is possible to discern several central elements in historical thinking. This article attempts to identify briefly some of the more important of these, and to consider their implications for school teaching.
