The continuing relevance of modern historical understanding is being questioned today on several grounds; on so many grounds, in fact, that it is almost impossible to keep count. To mention only a few, the dysfunctionality of historical understanding as we came to know it in the last two centuries is equally indicated by the demise of humanities education and a decrease in history enrollments; by the growing sense of memory, trauma, and historical injustice as alternative approaches to the past; and by radical technological, algorithmic, ecological, environmental, and Earth System futures that no longer seem connected to past experiences and past states of affairs.
