Trust, Testimony, and the Epistemic Value of Historical Narrative
A significant contribution of narrativist philosophy of history (whether analytical, phenomenological, or poststructuralist) lies in its critique of relying solely on "strictly" epistemic criteria to evaluate historical narratives. Rather than assessing them based on empirical evidence alone, which is often seen as neutral and value-free, narrativism calls for a broader perspective. This is because no description of people and their behavior can …
A pragmatist view on two accounts of the nature of our ‘connection’ with the past
Hayden White’s and David Carr’s most recent works can be viewed as a weakening of their earlier, more provocative stances emphasizing the core practical and ethical concerns involved in any consideration of the past. White’s distinction between the practical past and the historical past and Carr’s search for historical experience appear now to limit the practical consequences of their previous arguments. In this article, I consider John Dewey’s i…
Dewey, Mead, John Ford, and the Writing of History
The second half of the twentieth century has been witness to a blooming of reflections on the status of historical narrative. One of the main achievements of a narrativist philosophy of history (NPH) consists of having reinforced the worth of an autonomous historical knowledge vis à vis standard conceptions of science which made history appear as underdeveloped. Although NPH does not dismiss the importance of documentary evidence, it did not prod…
La historia como promesa incumplida. Hayden White, heurística y realismo figural
Hayden White ofrece una manera original de entender la historización de los sucesos del pasado. La noción de Auerbach de "realismo figural" permite entender la producción de representaciones históricas realistas en términos de la presentación de una figura de la realidad. Sus reflexiones esclarecen por qué no puede alcanzarse la versión definitiva del pasado: la historia es figurada siempre por agentes en su presente e inevitablemente será reescr…
The Epistemic and Moral Role of Testimony1
My aim in this article is to provide a critical-productive appreciation of witness testimony that avoids the false and crooked dichotomies that pervade contemporary philosophy of history and historical theory. My specific, pragmatist approach combines the recent accounts of Hayden White about "witness literature" with the "generative-performative" consideration of testimony by Martin Kusch. The purpose is to appreciate, in a non-foundationalist w…
