| Sumario: | The crisis launched by the coronavirus pandemic raised questions around the world about the model of society that is being built and what the future of humanity will be like. The challenge of COVID-19 had as a background, especially in American territory, the proliferation of fake news and scientific negationism, as well as the great concern of various spheres of society for the discussions on climate change. Hence, the points I intend to make indicate for the demand of historiography, especially in the Theory and Philosophy of History area, to take a hard look at the current context of political-environmental crisis. What I propose is an approach of the questions of historiography with the problems made explicit by the natural sciences, based on the fact that both fields are threatened by obscurantist negacionism, at the critical moment when the distinctions between historical and geological time are in a dizzying process overlap. |
