The Contemporary Historical Discourse: Between Criticism and Reshaping

Abstract

The present text recommends itself as an erudite essay regarding the condition of history and the historian on the threshold between the XXth and the XXIst centuries. In the postmodern times, the scientific “prophets” of the end announced the “end of history”, concomitantly with the end of other fields of the human studies. The multitude of the points of view, as well as the diversity of the reflections voiced and commented by the author, prove that history is nowadays more vivid than ever.
