Tensions between history and science in modern philosophy

Abstract

The object of this brief work is to investigate the tensions between history and science in the concept of historic science born in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To do so we expose the concept of history that comes from modern times and meaning in the context of the birth of natural sciences. Philosophy of history will be the definitive form in which reason emerges as the historic reason (Hegel) and expresses all the contradictions of the modern world (Kant). The article ends with the exposition of the transformation of conscience and self-conscience in physics at the end of the nineteenth century.
