O relacji między dziejami in actu a dziejami ex post. Uwaga na marginesie Reinharta Kosellecka tezy o braku sensu dziejów

Abstrakt

In this paper I present and criticise Reinhart Koselleck’s criticism of rationality in history. He identifies the sense of history with its rationality. He denies both the rationality of the totality of history and the rationality of a historical fragment. In his opinion, history in actuis senseless. It determines the cognitive status of historical knowledge. I agree with his criticism of the sense of the totality of history but I reject his concept of the senselessness of the historical fragment.
