This underscores the troubling gulf that sometimes separates public academics approaches to the past. Academic historians have been “too long focused” on professionalism‚ and discarded “generating” a “dialogue” (Conrad) with their contextual audiences.

Answer: The Problem of historical objectivity is the fact that history was and will always stay subjective as long as historians have different moral values and beliefs.

historical truth is a truth about a historical event that exists independently of‚ and can be detached from‚ the subjectivities of scholars’ . Hence‚ is Morris implying that historical truths are objective? If they are indeed objective‚ why are historians constantly rewriting history books?
