Descripción
Sumario:This article aims to problematize the position of the English historian E. P. Thompson in front of the discussions treated by theorists like P. Anderson, Nairn and Kolakowski. The main issues discussed in this essay will be found in Thompson's reflection on refuting and problematizing theoretical understandings concerning the understanding of Marxism (and its nuances) and of the historian's place in the writing process. Methodologically, we use Thompson's works as the source of analysis, namely: The misery of theory or a planetary of errors (1981); The peculiarity of the British and other articles (2001) and the open letter to Leszek Kolakowski (1973).
