Historism: to the History of the Concept

This paper is devoted to the genesis of the historism (contextualism). Historism was created by professional historians as a research practice and in the 19th century became the answer to a variety of “philosophies of history”. Now in Russia it is a main principle of historical studies — to explore the past by using the historical context. It is also used in western historical studies, but usually named “contextualism”. However, author comes to conclusion, that in the middle of the 19th century, historism is not totally professional phenomenon — but also philosophical.
