Abstract

The article deals with the working-out of an adequate attitude towards history as the past. It has nothing in common with retrophobia (a snobbish disregard of the past) and retrophilia (a thoughtless flirt with the past). The author proposes for discussion the well-known idea of deconstruction in its application to the historical flux of events. Deconstruction proliferates differences, in our case those that draw the lines between history and contemporaneity.
