A perspectiva ontológica da história em Reinhart Koselleck

Abstract

This work is inserted in the field of the theory of history and the history of historiography, with the objective of studying the analysis of the ontological perspective of history in Reinhart Koselleck. Although, Koselleck has not done a specific and systematic research on the ontology of history, one can perceive, from the analysis of his works and the bibliographic review, a deep ontological reflection on history. We define the following argumentative structure: we sought to demonstrate how Koselleck's critique of speculative philosophies of history led him to develop an ontology of history, especially from his critical appropriation of the hermeneutic ontology tradition. Koselleck's ontology of history evokes a series of pertinent discussions about temporality, historicity, language, historical reality, existential categories, extralinguistic historical conditions, etc. The material to be used as a basis for this research, the source works, are: Criticism and crisis: a contribution to the pathogenesis of the bourgeois world (1999); Future past: contribution to the semantics of historical times (2006); The concept of history (2013); Strata of Time: Studies on History (2014); History of concepts (2020) and Reinhart Koselleck: a latent philosophy of time (2021).
