弗兰克.安克斯密特在其《叙事的逻辑》一书中提出了叙事实体理论,其观点激进,学界对此褒贬不一,麦卡拉是最严厉的批评者。麦卡拉挑战叙事实体理论的适用范围,认为它并不适用于所有的历史撰述;质疑叙事观念论的合法性,认为它不足以支撑叙事实体;拷问衡量历史叙事优劣的标准,提出了相关性和可理解性作为客观性的重要补充。 Frank Andersmith put forward the theory of narrative entity in his “The Logic of Narration”. His viewpoints are radical. Academics have mixed reviews. McCrack is the most serious critic. Mccara challenges the scope of application of the theory of narrative entity, that it does not apply to all historical writing; questioned the legitimacy of the concept of narrative, that it is not enough to support the narrative entity; interrogating the criteria for measuring the merits of historical narrative, made the relevance And intelligibility as an important complement to the objectivity.
