Georges Canguilhem

In his definition of history of science, he strengthen the importance of disruptive changes. It is incorrect to consider all the knowledge today as static. Instead what we discovered today constantly changes history.

I think this view can be applied to history in general. Every time we discover something new, our view of the past will change.
