Description
Summary:When contemporary authors reconstruct the discussion on the status of history, they tend to think that this topic has only developed since the second half of the 18th century. This temporal limitation leads them to believe any satisfactory answer that is intended to be given to the discussion must be framed between the exclusive disjunction created by those whom believe history is a science and those who believe it is an art (the two dominant positions in recent years). In the present paper I show we can find previous developments in the discussion that could express divergent positions before those currently held. To do so, I confront the isolationist thesis expressed by Aristotle in Poetic's Chapter 9 ―for whom history is neither a science nor an art― with the inclusivist thesis expressed by Giambattista Vico in The New Science ―for whom history is a science necessarily involving poetic knowledge.
