Resumen

El presente artículo señala la existencia de dos dimensiones complementarias, pero distintas, de la historia en el pensamiento del filósofo e historiador escocés del siglo XVIII David Hume. La primera abarca la comprensión de la historia como una forma de conocimiento imparcial, justificado y sistemáticamente organizado sobre el pasado, cuyos procedimientos y técnicas fueron ampliamente teorizados por Hume a lo largo de su carrera. La segunda es la historia como proceso histórico, es decir, como una totalidad que abarca todos los eventos y agentes del pasado. Esta estaría dotada de un patrón organizador y de un sentido que, una vez desvelado y explicado, permitiría al historiador cierto grado de especulación y proyección hacia el futuro. En la construcción del análisis se hacen referencias a las principales consideraciones sobre la historia en obras de Hume producidas entre mediados de la década de 1730 y principios de los años 1760. Entre los textos privilegiados en nuestro examen se destacan el Tratado de la naturaleza humana, algunos de los Ensayos, las dos Investigaciones y la Historia de Inglaterra.
