Abstract

The disciplinary disputes between history and philosophy have a history that is itself a shared and entangled one, marked by reciprocal borrowings of categories and methods. This dossier aims to denaturalize the common opposition between an ahistorical history of reason, supposedly the responsibility of the philosopher, and a successive history of facts, supposedly the responsibility of the historian. Investigating the processes of autonomization and professionalization of each discourse can contribute to a heightened awareness of this doxa. The dossier brings together original articles that problematize objects common to philosophy and history in a relational and interdisciplinary manner, thereby displacing the traditional ways in which each discipline understands itself.
