Abstract

GATICA, Noelia. On Argentine evocations and invocations of romantic historicism in the History of Ideas from 1930 to 1940. Cuyo-anu. filos. argent. am. [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.2, pp.69-100.  Epub Apr 18, 2022. ISSN 1853-3175.

We analyze the philosophical evocations of the Generation of '37 that Coriolano Alberini makes in 1930 and Luis Juan Guerrero and Carlos Astrada in 1940 under the assumption that they can be read as contemporary historiographical exercises to the institutionalization process of the History of Ideas. Unlike the historiographies of Ingenieros and Korn, Alberini observes in Alberdi, Sarmiento and Echeverría the formulation of a romantic historicism that results from the conjugation of ideas from romanticism and the Enlightenment. This interpretation is taken up and reformulated in the writings of Guerrero and Astrada.

At first, we study the plots and tensions that affect the emergence of historiographical practices in tension with the process of professionalization of philosophy, to later describe the way in which the theoretical and methodological variations of the evocations of romantic historicism germinate in new invocations of the national personality.
