Resumo: The relations between history and the sciences are at the heart of two important, recently-published books: A causalidade histórica, by François Simiand, and Histoire et sciences, by Lucien Febvre. From the editorial point of view, there is no connection between the two books and, indeed, they belong to different intellectual programs. Nevertheless, reading them draws attention to their thematic proximity and the historiographic problem that both projects present. I endeavor, first, to highlight the structure of those publications. Their organizers suggest that these old texts, newly re-edited, have something to tell us in the present insofar as they address problems that have been forgotten and remained unsolved but which, nevertheless, are knocking at our door. Then, I explore that aspect and underscore the relations between history and the sciences that they delineate. I go on to show how the ‘Simiand moment’ and the ‘Febvre moment’ were founded on two different stances in regard to the principle of causality. Finally, I seek to discuss two of the reasons that have led me to believe that the simultaneous publication of those two books is no coincidence, namely: our times seem to call for new relations between history and the sciences, and; in a certain way, those books make it possible to think on the problem of what historical time actually is. My reading guide will be the epistemology of history.

Os dois livros não possuem nenhuma relação do ponto de vista editorial e se inscrevem em diferentes programas intelectuais. Entretanto, sua leitura chama a atenção pela proximidade temática e pelo problema historiográfico que se evidencia em ambos os projetos. Em um primeiro momento, procuro destacar a estrutura dessas publicações. Seus organizadores sugerem que esses textos antigos ora reeditados têm algo a nos dizer atualmente, que tratam de problemas esquecidos ou não solucionados que, todavia, batem à nossa porta. Procuro, em seguida, explorar essa questão e sublinhar o tipo de relação entre a história e as ciências que aí se desenhava. Depois, tento mostrar como o “momento Simiand” e o “momento Febvre” se assentavam em duas posições distintas diante do princípio de causalidade. Finalmente, procuro discutir as razões que me levam a acreditar que a publicação simultânea desses dois livros não seja coincidência. Há pelo menos duas. Em primeiro lugar, nosso tempo parece solicitar uma nova relação entre a história e as ciências. Depois, de alguma forma, esses livros permitem pensar no problema sobre o que é tempo histórico. A epistemologia da história será minha guia de leitura.Universidade Federal de Goiás2024-08-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/79687Revista de Teoria da História; Vol. 27 No. 1 (2024): História Digital: arquivo, memória e narrativa na Era do Big Data; 206 - 223Revista de Teoria da História; v. 27 n. 1 (2024): História Digital: arquivo, memória e narrativa na Era do Big Data; 206 - 2232175-5892reponame:Revista de Teoria da Históriainstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/79687/41271Copyright (c) 2024 Revista de Teoria da Históriahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSalomon, Marlon2024-08-13T14:52:36Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/79687Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/PUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/oai||revistateoriadahistoria@hotmail.com2175-58922175-5892opendoar:2024-08-13T14:52:36Revista de Teoria da História - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
