This may seem horribly obvious but it seems to me that rather than a
philosophical approach, the most fruitful approaches to this topic are to
be found in sociology, especially the sociology of knowledge (by which I;m
not referring to SSK).
When you said 'in history', do you mean in the past or in History the
discipline?
With best wishes,
