耶鲁：Professor Freeman 关于American Revolution历史学习的 five tips

参考：

Professor Freeman offers an introduction to the course, summarizing the readings and discussing the course's main goals. She also offers five tips for studying the Revolution:

1) Avoid thinking about the Revolution as a story about facts and dates;

2) Remember that words we take for granted today, like "democracy," had very different meanings;

3) Think of the "Founders" as real people rather than mythic historic figures;

4) Remember that the "Founders" aren't the only people who count in the Revolution;

5) Remember the importance of historical contingency: that anything could have happened during the Revolution.

• 探春是把历史课的目的本末倒置了。把用正确的方法读历史，变成用历史资料训练历史AI 算法。 -whaled- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/28/2022 postreply 21:20:03
