Summary: The purpose of this project is a book, which will be
finished in autumn 1995. It is about history of historiography, methodology
and theory of history concerning the "great" historiographies (the german,
french, english and american). The book will contain the continuities and
discontinuities in the developement of historiography, reflexions about the
place of history in the system of sciences, information on various
historiographic streams and "schools" from antiquity up till today and on
methods of scientific research. There will be emphasized the most important
problems for the understanding of contemporary movements in historical
science which are essential for the further development of croatian
historiography.
Keywords: history of historiography, methodology of history
Research goals: The book Historical Science is out of print and
there is no use publishing a third edition because it covers the period
only up to the middle of the 1970s. It must thus be brought up to date
using new literature from the history of historiography and the methodology
of historical science. As there are no financial or other possibilities for
historians to travel abroad and get acquainted with developments in modern
historical science at the source (nor does translated literature allow
this) new information is indispensable for the further development of
Croatian historiography.
