Facts and interpretations, Historical interpretations, History and ethical assessmentAbstract
This paper tries to cast light on the relation between historical facts and their interpretations. The thesis maintained is that facts and interpretations are inseparable but at the same time can’t be mixed up, because they are correlative: the sense of both terms depends on their mutual relation. This correlation can be observed even in the ethical aspects of history. The thesis is illustrated with some examples.
