Resumo: I argue that contrary to all rumours, the enterprise of philosophy of history is very much alive today, even indispensable. This is of course not to say that postwar criticism can be completely disregarded. Th e question is not that of how to return to a discredited philosophy of history that invented a processual concept of history with attributes of directionality, teleology, inherent meaning and substance in the course of human affairs. Th e question is whether the possibility of change over time in human affairs can be conceptualized as ‘history’ without invoking the aforementioned attributes. This is no easy question. In fact, it even consists of two distinct but heavily interrelated questions: first, whether it is possible to conceive of historical time in other than processual-developmental terms; and second, whether such other-than-processual temporality can still be ‘historical’ in the sense of retaining the possibility of change over time in human affairs.

Isso não significa dizer, é claro, que as críticas do pós-guerra devem ser completamente desconsideradas. A questão não é como retornar a uma descreditada filosofia da história, idealizadora do conceito processual de história, dotada de direcionalidade, teleologia, sentido e substância inerentes no desenrolar das coisas humanas. A questão é se a possibilidade de mudança das coisas humanas no tempo pode ser conceitualizada enquanto ‘história’ sem invocar os atributos previamente mencionados. Essa não é uma pergunta fácil. Na realidade, essa pergunta consiste em outras duas perguntas distintas, mas profundamente interrelacionadas: primeiro, se é possível conceber um tempo histórico em outros termos que não processuais-desenvolvimentais; e segundo, se tal temporalidade outra-que-não-processual pode ainda ser ‘histórica’ no sentido de reter a possibilidade de mudança das coisas humanas no tempo.Universidade Federal de Goiás2021-07-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/6967610.5216/rth.v24i1.69676Revista de Teoria da História; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2021): Philosophies of history; 139 - 155Revista de Teoria da História; v. 24 n. 1 (2021): Filosofias da história; 139 - 1552175-5892reponame:Revista de Teoria da Históriainstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/69676/36974Copyright (c) 2021 rth |https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSimon, Zoltán Boldizsár 2021-07-30T20:45:45Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/69676Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/PUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/oai||revistateoriadahistoria@hotmail.com2175-58922175-5892opendoar:2021-07-30T20:45:45Revista de Teoria da História - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
