3. "historical imagination" "where tradition meets today"

 First, on a neglected question—what is history for?

As an intellectual historian of the premodern world, what struck me the most, as I read through statement after earnest statement on the aims of social studies pedagogy, was the almost complete lack of interest today in what was always the chief rationale for writing and reading history from the time of Herodotus until the blessed advent of the Educational Testing Service in 1947. State departments of education, the National Council for Social Studies, and even the Civics Alliance speak of acquiring reading and writing skills; learning how interpretation is based on sources; learning how to summarize, analyze, and criticize historical accounts; how to gather evidence and evaluate it; how to assess historians’ arguments; how to ask questions, form hypotheses, and test them. All of these are immensely valuable skills, to be sure, but they sidestep the traditional goal of history in the premodern world: acquiring the virtue of prudence or practical wisdom—Aristotle’s phronesis. It’s worth asking why this is the case. After all, practical wisdom is the virtue we most need if our civic life is ever to be restored.  https://www.jordanmposs.com/blog/2022/8/12/the-place-of-imagination-in-history

 https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%22historical+imagination%22+%22gateway+to+the+past%22
 
 "Historical imagination" refers to the ability to mentally envision and understand past events, people, and societies, essentially acting as a "gateway to the past" by allowing us to connect with and experience history beyond just factual information; it's the mental process of stepping back in time through creative thinking and interpretation of historical details.
