The Humanistic (Non-Scientistic) and Scientistic Culture of Scientific History—in the Perspective of Ethnography of Historical Studies

Abstract

In the article I am analyzing W. Wrzosek’s division of historiography into classical (traditional) historiography and non-classical (modernist historiography and historical anthropology). I am examining the foundations of this division, as they determine its character. It is a generalizing division. It loses diversity in historiography. I suggest a division of historiography which includes this diversity. It is based on the ethnography of contemporary thought.
