[ES] El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar y discutir las consecuencias que la pluralidad histórica de conceptos y formas de racionalidad tiene para una filosofía contemporánea de la historia. En un primer paso, se considera el sentido de la atribución de racionalidad o irracionalidad a la historia, recurriendo para ello a un esbozo de tres modelos distintos de filosofía de la historia. A continuación, se señala que la pluralidad de formas y conceptos de racionalidad se presenta como un obstáculo para la historia especialmente si las diferencias están ancladas en imágenes del mundo y formas de vida divergentes. No obstante, se argumenta a favor de la posibilidad de una comprensión histórica, de una capacidad crítica con respecto a culturas ajenas y contraria a un relativismo cultural radical. La base común de los distintos criterios de racionalidad estaría presente justo en la lógica pragmática de nuestros sistemas simbólicos.
[EN] The major aim of this article is to analyze and discuss the consequences of the historical plurality of rationality forms and concepts for a contemporary philosophy of history. In a first step, we consider the sense in which rationality or irrationality can be attributed to history. Therefore, three different models of philosophy of history with their respective concepts of rationality are outlined. In a second step, we demonstrate that the plurality of forms and concepts of rationality forms an obstacle for historiography especially if the differences are entrenched in divergent world views and forms of life. Nevertheless, it will be argued for the possibility of historical comprehension, of critical capacity with regard to distant cultures, and against a radical cultural relativism. A common basis of the different criteria of rationality, thus the thesis, is given by the pragmatic logic of our symbol systems.
