| Research Abstract |
A feature of historiography is that it is not determined by the combination of its elements. Rather, the nature of each part, and thus the nature of the combination of these parts, is determined by the position and role of historiography within a culture as a whole. Even if the nature of the parts changes, the character of the whole can be preserved.
As an example of this principle, European historiography has remained fundamentally cognitive in nature over the past four centuries, while East Asian historiography has retained its normative, publicly authorized character during the past century and a half despite its adoption of the cognitive historiographical methods of the modern West.
