Quote by Martin Heidegger

But every historical statement and legitimization itself moves within a certain relation to history.

Summary

This quote suggests that all statements about history, regardless of their intended legitimization or credibility, are inherently subjective and influenced by the context of the time in which they are made. It implies that historical accounts are not absolute truths, but rather interpretations of past events, shaped by individual or collective perspectives and biases. By acknowledging this inherent relation to history, the quote encourages a critical approach to understanding and interpreting historical narratives.
