Theory of History, Linguistic turn, EpistemologyResumo
During the last decades of the 20th century, the theory of history experienced an influence of the linguistic turn, primarily through the narrativist movement. Recently, however, interest in narrativism and the linguistic turn declined, and several new approaches to the theory of history emerged. In the paper, I discuss just two of them and, where relevant, I focus on how they transform or criticize narrativism. Namely, I explore new realism and an epistemic approach. The latter approach is developed in various forms, from which I select the so-called pragmatist non-representationalism and the approach focusing on the role of evidence in history. The paper aims to categorize and to characterize a couple of interesting positions as well as to offer a very selective map of what has been happening in the theory of history after the linguistic turn.
