Without doubt, Allan Megill is the best intellectual historian in the United States. His paradigm on what constitutes historical knowledge, and what constitutes historical error, is the framing for my multidisciplinary work. There are three American scholars, who have continued to shaped my thinking in the Australian-American discourse, the other two are historical geographer David Lowenthal (1923-2018), and historical sociologist Randall Collins. There are almost countless and global perennial thinkers I turn to in my work, but these three are the system thinkers for our times, in the early 21st century. I thank them dearly for their service. They have given a career with their work.
