MENDIOLA MEJIA, Carlos. The Historical Explanation: The Part Played by Narratives. Notes on narration and knowledge in Arthur C. Danto. Hist. graf [online]. 2017, n.48, pp.49-60. ISSN 1405-0927.

The author proposes that while Arthur C. Danto tried to found history as a positive science, one that explains and that necessarily has to be proven objectively, he offered elements that make the knowledge of episodes possible but not of change itself. In order to show this, the author considers Danto’s conception of historic explanations, paying special attention in how the expression of change appears in them.

Palabras llave : narrative; Danto; philosophy; history; science.
