Forum: Whose History? Which Reality?

This forum on Whose History? Which Reality? examines issues concerning realism, anti-realism, and irrealism in the writing of histories. The idea for the forum sprang from the Currie/Swaim – DeWulf/Roth exchange as well as the subsequent discussion piece about that exchange by Mitrović in this journal in 2022.1 We (the editors) wondered whether there was more to the debate than covered in this exchange and in particular asked ourselves whether new perspectives on the issues commonly associated with realism, anti-realism, and irrealism would show that such indeed is the case. To this end we invited a select group of international scholars to write short pieces for this forum. We also asked the contributors to provide commentaries on some of the other papers submitted for the forum to enhance the debate. We selected from among the responses that were submitted several for inclusion in this forum.
