Abstract
A good way to begin to think historically is to try to imagine what things looked like at some date in the past without the benefit of our modern knowledge. After all, that is how everyone must proceed in their own present—no-one can know the future with certainty, we must all take risks. I have put a generic question appropriate to such an approach at this stage in the course at the end of this chapter, along with some advice about how to tackle it.
