RESUMO

This dissertation aims at discussing the chief theoretical and methodological elements inc1uded in the canon of historiographic interpretation as developed by the ltalian historian and philosopher Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), according to whom "every true history is contemporary history". It seeks to analyse the central premises upon which the author postulated the essentially contemporary character underlying historica1 knowledge, a theory developed in his works Teoria e storia de/Ia storiografia (1917) and La storia come pensiero e come azione (1938). This dissertation contains four primary parts. In the first one, the whole of Croce s work is contextualised within Italy s political and intellectual atmosphere between last century s second half and the first half of the current one. Next, Vico, Hegel and Marx s remarkable influence on Croce s theory ofhistory is identified. In the third part, a systematic study of Croce s Teoria e storia della storiografia and La storia come pensiero e come azione is carried out and the main arguments provided by the author to support the theory of history s contemporaneity are discussed. ln the last part, Final Considerations, some elements relative to Croce s ideas topicality within the context of the last part of XXth century s historiography are made evident
