Abstract

The concepts of past, present, future and the Historian commitment has been essential to understand the historiographical revolution of the twentieth century led by Marxist historiography and the Annales school. It is now time to update self-critical manner, picking the most advanced current historiographical practices. We propose to replace any “militant history” of political or religious by a “historiography of values”. The generalization in the global society of the great social, political and economic values, and human rights, enables a new ethical reference for the historical profession and social usefulness of history in the XXI century.
