Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct answer of the questions
that follow (Q. No. 71 to 75) :
Causation is a concept of such fundamental importance to historical understanding that E.H. Carr in his G.M.
Trevelyan lectures (1961) declared the study of history to be the study of causes. But postmodernist thinking on the issue of historical causation is different. John Vincent would abandon the search for
causes as futile and rather look for explanations. Writing in 1976, Theodore Zeldin thought of causation and
chronology as the two tyrants to historians. Hayden White attacked the concept of
causation as depriving people of both their freedom of action in the present and of control over the future by trapping them in an inescapable network of causation. Postmodernist theory installs interpretation
in the place of empirical research into the causes of specific events.
Since the notion of cause depends on sequential time, some postmodernists attack the latter too. The cause of an occurrence must obviously come before it in time. But the postmodernist historian
and philosopher, Ankersmit, says “Historical time is a recent and highly artificial invention of Western
civilization,” and the writing of historical narrative based on the concept of time, he
has declared, is “building on quicksand.”The postmodernists would prefer that the
idea of sequential time be abandoned in the writing of history. Richard Evans shows how the very idea of
postmodern is paradoxical in that it is contrary to the assertion that there are no time periods in history. And the postmodernist statement that historical time is a thing of the past, itself uses the
historical concept of time which the statement is intended to dismiss. The linear and sequential concept of time is far too powerful a principle to be dispensed with, for it is not an intellectual construct
but a matter of everyday experience for people the world over. Time itself may be
without boundaries, but in terms of human life it passes, and has limits.
71. What is the concept of causation by E.H. Carr ?
(A) History cannot be understood devoid of cause-effect relationship.
(B) History depends on time and space.
(C) It is a matter of every day personal experience to inquire about the basis of an event.
(D) Causes should be undertaken in totality.
72. What does postmodernist think about the Historical causation ?
(A) It is useless to search for it.
(B) It puts limitation on the Historian.
(C) Interpretation is necessary rather than the cause-effect relation.
(D) There are different opinions.
73. Which is not the concept of Time amongst the postmodernists ?
(A) It should not be studied in the interpretation of History.
(B) It puts forth the theory that the interpretation of events be emphasized.
