Development of a methodology for Historical Research
There are two different models to approach the scientific
research of history: the Marxist and the Unicist one.
The historical determinism described and defined by Marx is sustained
by the theory of dialectic behavior. Marx’s historical determinism
based upon simple dialectics, is yet another fallacy fed by the appearance
of particular facts, where an antithesis generated a new synthesis,
which was given universal significance. It upheld the hypothetical
idea of a perfect communism that would content Marx’s belief,
of a perfect world based on equality.
This fallacy defeated reality for years.
The historical relativism defined by Belohlavek is sustained by the
theory of conceptual behavior. The Unicist approach sustains that
dialectics is only a simplified way of thinking and promoting dual
behavior. It sustains that in each reality there is a Thesis and Antithesis
as the Marxist model defines, but there is also a homeostasis. The
Unicist approach refutes the Marxist one and proposes a relativist
model.
