Quentin Deluermoz examines the intellectual history and methodological utility of counterfactual thinking within the discipline of history. By analyzing hypothetical turning points ranging from antiquity to the modern era, the author investigates how alternative narratives serve as analytical tools to better understand the contingency and structural constraints of actual historical events.
