TORRES AGUILAR, Morelos. Gadamer, O'Gorman, Levi: Combates contra el neopositivismo historiográfico y contra el fetiche del documento. Valenciana [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.13, pp.189-206. ISSN 2007-2538.

The article critically analyzes, from the considerations of Giovanni Levi, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Edmundo O'Gorman, the way in which the historians apprehend the events and the procedure by means of which they obtain and use his sources. The ideas of these three thinkers question, from different perspectives, the preeminence of a heuristic based only on the eager search of the truth, characteristic of the scientific german school and the positivism, currents both of the 19th century; they propose on the other hand, as alternative that much owes to Being and time of Heidegger, the comprehension and interpretation of the processes and the historical subjects, as a suitable form of historical explanation.
