Czy praca historyka jest złudzeniem?

Abstract

The author claims that there are not pure historica1 facts; there are only interpretations of these facts. The paper describes three interpretations of a fragment of Julian Ochorowicz's scientific biography. A question arises if the fact that something has been interpreted from various points of view means that it has been interpreted properly? Perhaps, we deceive ourselves that we have managed to reconstruct past. Apparently, the theory of interpretation can only question the sense of the historian's work.
