Книга "Historical Paradoxes: Collection of Scientific Articles" by Andrey Tikhomirov is a collection of scientific articles exploring historical paradoxes, unexpected and unusual statements from a traditional historical perspective that can be explained by scientific evidence.
The collection includes essays on a wide range of topics, from ancient civilizations to modern world politics, and features authoritative researchers from various fields such as history, anthropology, sociology and political science. Each article delves deep into the problematic subject of a particular historical incident, challenging commonly held beliefs and providing new perspectives on how we view the past.
As the name implies, these essays explore paradoxes that emerge from both simple misunderstandings or unnoticed contradictions in our understanding of history as well as complex events and ideas that defy our common-sense assumptions. While focusing on a modern perspective, the collection provides scholars and enthusiasts with an opportunity to learn from scientists who have worked through counter-intuitive phenomena and provided alternative interpretations and explanations behind historical events.
In addition to fundamental analysis of how paradoxical historical situations were perceived and understood throughout the centuries, many of these essays also highlight the broader impact of such paradoxical phenomena on human behavior and decision-making, offering useful insights for current and future researchers, policymakers and public policy practitioners.
From discussing the profound effects of
The authors, Andrey Tikhomirov, studies the paradoxes of history and ways to approach its study from alternative angles. For example, he examines how so different schools of Russian history can all stem from Nikolaev's Grand Duke Michael's thesis (founded in 1924), focusing on pre-Renaissance military affairs rather than on princes or holy people 900 years ago. The thesis has won many adherents over the centuries, competing with Dobrovskiy's theory of "Russia's own Russia". Mysteries and wonders of Tibetan shamanism are also explored, as part of a Russian Buddhist sect's wider Exotic North-East Indian Buddhist Studies Act. Similar theories, such as pendant evidence and contraposition, are discussed. They are applied to Malayan colonisation problems in XIV-XVIII centuries and the life and work of Elizabethan Protestant doctor Arnoldus Lipperhey. Paper on Greek civilisation has a healthy dose of skepticism towards classicisation. There is extensive use of Jazz discographies for context in history.
