Sumario: | The objective of this article is to make some considerations on Historicism, and the possibility of examining it as one of the paradigms for establishing a scientific history for the Twentieth Century. The first point discussed is related to the origins of the historicist paradigm during the transition between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries.

The specifications of this paradigm¿s characteristics are at the center of our analysis. |
