Description

Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1985 - Volume 6 - Numéro 1 - Pages 131-140
Questioning time in history, Eric Vigne.
Should time be a philosophical question ? In general, French historians seem to have neglected this essential problem concerning reflection on time. Both because of a positivist tradition which seeks the linearity of the event and of a mistrust of the philosophy of history, they have not wanted to corne to grips with the question of temporality. And yet the very nature of history cornes from this question. K. Pomian's recent book, L'ordre du temps (Gallimard) illustrates the richness of the philosophie thinking on the variation of the notion of time and its importance in understanding the various historical schools.
