whiggishness การใช้

Nicholas Jardine describes the changing attitude to whiggishness this way:
Popular understandings of human evolution and paleoanthropology may be imbued with a form of " whiggishness ".
Butterfield wrote that " Whiggishness " is too handy a " rule of thumb . . . by which the historian can select and reject, and can make his points of emphasis ".
Before the 17th century dissecting out such a thing as'science'in anything like the modern sense of the term involves profound distortions . " The science historians'rejection of whiggishness has been criticized by some scientists for failing to appreciate the temporal depth of scientific research.
In this kind of approach, which emphasizes the relevance of history to the present, things that do not seem relevant receive little attention, which results in a misleading portrayal of the past . " Whig history " or " whiggishness " are often used as synonyms for " presentism " particularly when the historical depiction in question is triumphalist.
