According to it, writing history requires a comparative criterion of historical relevance. This criterion contains philosophical elements. In Kuhn’s case, the criterion directs historical research and presentation away from Whiggish historiography by postulating a hermeneutic reading of historical sources. This postulate implies some sort of internalism, some sort of rationality of scientific development, and historical realism. To conclude, some consequences of Kuhn’s anti-Whiggism are discussed. 2012 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339730820002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
