Cicero on Historiography - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 28 Historiography/History/Cicero/Gadamer: The historia is (...) a completely different source of truth than the theoretical Gadamer I 29 reason. Cicero already had this in mind when he called it vita memoriae(1). Its inherent right is based on the fact that human passions cannot be governed by the general rules of reason. Rather, convincing examples are needed, such as only history offers. Bacon: That is why Bacon calls the historia that brings such examples another way of philosophizing (alia ratio philosophandi(2). Gadamer: That is also formulated negatively enough. But we will see that in all these phrases the way of being of moral knowledge recognized by Aristotle is effective. The memory of this will become important for the appropriate self-understanding of the >humanities. 1. Cicero, De oratore, Il. 9. 36. 2. Cf. Leo Strauss, The Political Philosophy of Hobbes, chapter VI._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
