Against dogmatism in history: the time as basilar phenomenon of human experience

Abstract

History has always been one of the central themes of the humanities. However, there are several ways of conceiving it and researching it. The intent of this article is to demonstrate that a non-dogmatic attitude toward history requires a specific way to approach it and even specific behavior: what defines the man tried and anti-dogmatic. We will seek to argue that the assumption of this non-dogmatic attitude requires another understanding of the foundation, now based in inexhaustible time, and a new focus of analysis, that must abandon the centrality of human-subjectivity in favor of the centrality of the phenomenon of everyday public world. The argument is based on the works of Marting Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer.
