Croce, Foucault, History, Philosophy of HistoryAbstract
At the beginning of the 20th century, many years before Michel Foucault, Croce understands the epistemological break of the 19th century and the new role of history in knowledge. In 1893 he established that history is art and not science, refusing philosophy of history. Later he identified history with philosophy and theorized that all history is contemporary history. History is for Croce the touchstone of the value of any philosophy and through history he verified his new philosophical categories: the useful and the vital. At the end of his life, when he meditated on the end of the civilization, the vital became central in his philosophy and incorporated all other categories.
