History, a living discipline

Abstract

A terminological analysis of the concepts of artificial intelligence and humanism is conducted, contextualizing the latter within the discipline of history as a living science that seeks to rescue the meaning of life of those who came before us. The study emphasizes that it is the researcher who revives past events from a present perspective, affirming that all history is written from the present with the aim of ideally configuring harmonious social systems in the form of utopias. The article narrates the struggles in the 19th century for the recognition of history as a science on par with the empirical sciences, which were flourishing under the dominant Positivist perspective. It highlights paradigmatic historiographic elements aligned with the hermeneutic understanding of humanity across different temporalities. This serves to demonstrate that history is a living science, enabling the revival of events and the traces of human existence through its mediation.
