Resumen
Descripción
En este ensayo intentamos proporcionar una definición de la teoría de la historia que
contemple su función como ordenadora y productora de la tradición historiográfica.
Mediante este procedimiento proponemos que, dado el fin de la certeza unánime sobre
la conveniencia del paradigma científico para el conocimiento histórico, es necesario
rediscutir el significado del concepto de verdad que lo subyace. Tal redefinición se
impone debido al carácter identitario que el compromiso con la verdad comporta para
la historiografía, pero resulta incomprensible desde el interior del paradigma
epistemológico. En el sentido de dar un nuevo inicio a ese debate, proponemos la
aproximación estética de la hermenéutica filosófica como alternativa a la noción de
verdad científica de la epistemología.
In this essay we try to provide a definition of the theory of history that contemplates its function as organizer and producer of the historiographical tradition. Through this procedure we propose that, given the end of unanimous certainty about the convenience of the scientific paradigm for historical knowledge, it is necessary to rediscuss the meaning of the concept of truth that underlies it. Such a redefinition is imperative due to the identity forming character that the commitment to truth entails for historiography, but cannot be understood from within the epistemological paradigm. With the purpose of giving a new inauguration to this debate, we propose the aesthetic approach of philosophical hermeneutics as an alternative to the notion of scientific truth of epistemology.
