Abstract

Historians need to be freed and purged of the influence of their roots and surroundings when they write history. Bias is evident when Western historians categorize the world from a Euro-centric perspective. Khaled Blankenship identifies Western methodology in defining historical eras, including Classical Antiquity, Medieval Europe, and Modern History, and analyzes attempts to reform the narrow Western historical method. Blankenship then discusses the science of history by Muslims and the Islamic historical worldview. He then proposes dividing historical eras in a categorization that is in concurrence with historical reality.
