Teleological History

"What is at question is the nature of the event, its relative novelty, the scope and intensity of its impact, and its meaning or what it reveals about the society in which it took place"

Talking about events, not in a superficial, distant something, but as a fact, an occurence, and influential part of everybody lives and everybody's history.
Since everybody agrees on the fact that events, reflect in our identities, influence a large part of our subconscious, our behaviour, as well our judgments, which indeed make us.
For me, events are great indicators of not only individual but a group status or perspectives.
They reveal a lot about the society, lifestyles, cultures, spirit of the people. They form a clear view on how we lived or want to live.
Also narrativising events, only adds culture and context to these.
"What happened in the past to be able to understand the present"
Even now is history just as we finish saying it. Past, the time gone by, tells a lot about the present and what could be the future. We get a referal point for events, facts, experiences and narratives.
Speaking of narratives, apart from talking about historicals as plots and sensationalising them, there are forms of narratives, which are respectful, and add to the richness just as any historical script would. These forms make these historicals "narratable".
Historical research comes in where narratives and myths and folklores need a check on its historicity.
I disagree with the fact that history is not teleological. The nature of writing, reading and understanding history, may be not history itself, is constantly changing.Its evolving with the mentality, intellignce and values of people. With liberalisation of thought
and beliefs, more tolerance has been generated, east meets the west. The understanding and reason which validates history, facts and events will change and has changed. "Modernism" is an example. History like all other studies will keep evolving, becoming meaningful,
but unfortuntaly on the flip side, the logic and reasoning, the scientific way of thinking could confiscate imaginations, with which the rich narratives, folklores and fables were produced.
