Abstract

This comment discusses Branko Mitrović’s view of historical anti-realism and realism. It identifies several interpretative errors and philosophical infelicities in Mitrović’s account, in particular regarding colligation, and realism itself. It is suggested that the debate between the realist and the anti-realist pertains to the statuses attributed to scientific and historical claims. Provided that anti-realism is not general skepticism about them, the burden of proof to show that such notions as ‘real,’ ‘fact,’ and ‘counterpart’ contribute to the philosophical discussion about the statuses of the claims rests on the shoulders of the realist. Furthermore, the realist should establish that the historian’s colligations can be uniquely correct and yet independent of the historian. This comment also is a plea for a more measured and rigorous philosophy of historiography.

这篇评论讨论了布兰科-米特罗维奇关于历史反现实主义和现实主义的观点。它指出了米特罗维奇论述中的几个解释性错误和哲学缺陷,特别是关于勾结和现实主义本身。文章认为,现实主义和反现实主义之间的争论涉及科学和历史主张的地位问题。只要反现实主义不是对它们的普遍怀疑,那么证明 "真实"、"事实 "和 "对应物 "等概念有助于关于主张地位的哲学讨论的举证责任就落在了现实主义者的肩上。此外,现实主义者还应该证明,历史学家的主张可以是唯一正确的,但又独立于历史学家。这一评论也是对更有分寸、更严谨的历史学哲学的呼吁。

期刊介绍: Philosophy of history is a rapidly expanding area. There is growing interest today in: what constitutes knowledge of the past, the ontology of past events, the relationship of language to the past, and the nature of representations of the past. These interests are distinct from – although connected with – contemporary epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and aesthetics. Hence we need a distinct venue in which philosophers can explore these issues. Journal of the Philosophy of History provides such a venue. Ever since neo-Kantianism, philosophy of history has been central to all of philosophy, whether or not particular philosophers recognized its potential significance.
