Reinhart Koselleck Livres

Les essais réunis dans Le futur passé proposent des réflexions précieuses et peut-être plus libres que celles d'autres ouvrages de Koselleck, tout du moins en ce qui concerne trois sujets : l'histoire conceptuelle, la théorie de la modernité et la théorie des temps historiques. " Les analyses sémantiques présentées ici ne portent pas essentiellement sur l'histoire de la langue ", précise l'auteur. " Elles s'attachent à la structure linguistique des expériences temporelles, là où celles-ci sont ancrées dans la réalité passée. Ces analyses s'élargissent au champ social et linguistique, tout en essayant de passer de la sémantique des concepts à la dimension historique et anthropologique inhérente à tout acte de langage. " Le livre que l'on présente aujourd'hui est déjà reconnu comme un texte de référence par la communauté internationale des philosophes comme des historiens.

Comment le travail de l’historien s’inscrit-il dans son époque ? Quelle incidence a la posture d’observation sur l’analyse produite ? Comment mesurer, dans l’entreprise d’explication historique, la part des concepts et de leur pouvoir structurant ?En réponse à ces questions, Reinhardt Koselleck propose ici un parcours de recherches qui relie la genèse d’une science de l’histoire, au tournant du XVIIIe siècle, à l’anthropologie et à l’herméneutique historiques d’aujourd’hui. Questionnant à la fois le concept d’histoire, dans les acceptions successives qu’il a prises au fil du temps, et la notion d’expérience développée par les philosophes écossais et affinée, jusqu’à nos jours, par les sciences humaines internationales, il dessine les contours d’une véritable démarche réflexive en histoire. En scrutant les pratiques de la mémoire collective et en les rapportant à l’exercice de la « sémantique historique », il construit à son tour un champ d’expériences qui frappe aussi bien par son ampleur que par la diversité de ses actualisations possibles. Ce livre est ainsi le témoin d’une entreprise intellectuelle forte et originale qui renouvelle la réflexion historienne contemporaine.

This book established Reinhart Kosellek's reputation as the most important German intellectual historian of the postwar period. The first English translation of Kosellek's tour de force demonstrates a chronological breadth, a philosophical depth, and an originality, which are hardly equalled in any scholarly domain. It is a history of the Enlightenment in miniature, fundamental to our understanding of that period and its consequences. Like de Tocqueville, Kosellek views Enlightenment intellectuals as an uprooted, unrealistic group of onlookers who sowed the seeds of the modern political tensions that first flowered in the French Revolution. He argues that it was the split that developed between state and society during the Enlightenment that fostered the emergence of this intellectual elite divorced from the realities of politics.

This new collection of previously untranslated essays by renowned German conceptual historian and theorist Reinhart Koselleck provides new insight into his theory of history, an ambitious attempt to unearth the conditions of all possible histories.

Explores the shifting perceptions and conceptions of historical time that have emerged over the past two centuries. This book argues that the past and the future have become 'relocated' in relation to each other, and that 'history' has emerged as a kind of temporality with distinct characteristics and ways of assimilating experience.

Reinhart Koselleck's work explores the Enlightenment's impact on modern political tensions, particularly through the lens of an intellectual elite disconnected from political realities. He argues that the growing divide between state and society during this period led to private spheres that became moral authorities, ultimately undermining political stability. By examining examples across Europe, Koselleck illustrates how the progressive ideas of the bourgeoisie, which promised unity, instead contributed to conflict. This translation enriches our understanding of Enlightenment consequences.

Reinhart Koselleck is regarded as one of the most important theorists of history and historiography of the late 20th century, and is an exponent and practitioner of Begriffsgeschichte. The 18 essays in this volume illustrate the four theses of Koselleck's concept of history.

Este livro apresenta a tradução do verbete “Geschichte, Historie”, retirado de um clássico contemporâneo da História e da Historiografia: os Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe, obra de referência sobre a história dos conceitos no espaço cultural alemão, editada por Otto Brunner, Werner Conze e Reinhart Koselleck. Apresentado aqui pela primeira vez ao leitor brasileiro em sua extensão original, O Conceito de História foi escrito por Christian Meier, Odilo Engels, Horst Günther e Reinhart Koselleck. Seu fio condutor são as transformações desse termo até a modernidade. A palavra “história”, cujo primeiro registro conhecido remonta a Heródoto, no século V a.C., é um patrimônio de diferentes culturas ocidentais que há quase 2.500 anos é cultivado, expandido e ressignificado. O estudo acompanha de perto essa longa trajetória, analisando os usos do termo e as concepções de história vigentes na Antiguidade Clássica, os rearranjos semânticos decorrentes de sua absorção no horizonte cultural cristão, os diferentes gêneros historiográficos medievais, bem como as reconfigurações do pensamento histórico sob os influxos do Renascimento, da Reforma e das transformações que deram origem ao mundo contemporâneo.
