Sumario:One of the most interesting philosophical debate about the epistemic status of history and sociology emerged from the opposition between idealism and positivism. The first part of this article offers a brief description of this debate. The second part analyses Abbagnano's critique of the two models, both regarded as romantic models. The third and fourth sections focus on the epistemic conditions for history and sociology advanced by the Italian philosopher, and highlight the importance of the confutation of Romanticism. Finally, the last section assesses if Abbagnano’s framework is complete.
