Between Science and Literature: The Debate on the Status of History
Poznan Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities 97 (1):7-30 (2009)
Abstract
The author in terms of idealizational theory of science explicates two approaches to history represented by positivism (Hempel) and narrativism (White). According to positivism, history is branch of science, according to narrativism, history is closer to literature. In the second part of this paper, the author paraphrases some paradoxes of historical narrative elaborated by mentioned-above representatives of these standpoints what is argument for unity of scientific methods presupposed by idealizational theory of science.Author's Profile
