Prior to that constitutive act, neither objects nor the relationships between them are constituted. This also is the reading of White that Ankersmit builds on in his writings. According to Ankersmit, White understood the past as ‘a meaningless myriad of facts, states and events, an amorphous chaos of data’ (1983, 78), which is an idea that re-appears in Ankersmit’s later books. He writes that historical reality remains a chaos as long as a representation has been singled out to bring order into this chaos (2001, 45) and that the historians’ concepts create continuity and unity in the Three Tenets of Narrativist Philosophy 41 field that is in the state of chaos and disorder before their postulation (2012, 45).
It was often suggested that a narrative account cannot involve contextual explanations, facts external to a sequence of events, or other explanatory principles. And even the early narrativists, who took a positive view of narrativity in historiography, referred to historical narration as a peculiar kind of explanatory account. Narrativity was seen as a ‘distinct kind of explanation’ (Louch 1969, 58), as ‘self-explanatory’ (Gallie 1964, 108) or itself as ‘a form of explanation’ (Danto 1968, 141, 237, 251).
Elton writes that the ‘Historical method is no more than a recognized and tested way of extracting from what the past has left the true facts and events of that past’ (1967, 65). And it is worth remembering Ranke’s injunction that historians should extinguish themselves, Three Tenets of Narrativist Philosophy 39 in order to prevent their subjective beliefs and assumptions from being projected onto their reconstructions of the past. 7 The narrativists represent the opposite end to modernist historiographers, at least when it comes to narratives and other synthesizing interpretations.
