In the paper, I analyse one of the contemporary perspectives in philosophy and history of science, which is proposed by Isabelle Stengers. Known as the art of diplomacy, it tries to move beyond an alternative between the absolutist approach to sciences (as well as to their achievements) and the relativistic one, formed by cultural studies, social history, STS etc. Since the early 1990s, Stengers has been developing a way of treating modern science as a particular scientific practice which contains some inherent values, exigencies, and obligations. Such notions – practice, value, exigency, obligation as well as a truth of the relative and constraint – constitute a conceptual framework of Stengers’ perspective. In my paper, I reconstruct this framework in order to check its efficiency in the historical studies. Hence, two examples are discussed: 1) physics works on neutrino and 2) Lavoisier’s position in the history of chemistry.

In my paper I point out both the advantages and disadvantages of thinking about historiography as "a historical representation". According to Ankersmit, historians always tend to represent the past in their texts. However, there are some historical works and even movements which would rather prefer to formulate and resolve a problem than create representations of the reality. I also analyse the consequences of Ankersmit’s propositions on historiography. In my opinion, "the logic of representation" involves this discipline in a crisis which is – as M.P. Markowski claims – permanent for the history of representation. Moreover, in such a situation historiography has to reach an impossible ideal: to make the past real in the present. On the other hand, a comparison made by Ankesmit between a painter and a historian, suggesting that the latter represents the reality in a similar way that the former renders his model, allows us to rethink the function of fact in the historical narration. In both cases a realistic element becomes a sign of "deeper" layers of represented reality. In consequence, it is possible to distinguish the "poetic truth" within the best historical works.

The problem of the concept of 'event' in Braudel's oeuvre is more complex than it seems to be. The author tries to analyse this question on three different levels. In the first part of the article he shows that in the schema of 'traditional history', reconstructed by Braudel, historical event loses all its characteristic features. It becomes uniform, abstract, and functions there as a negative element of history. The second part is devoted to the position and meaning of event within a theoretical model of history which is usually called 'the global history'. Against the traditional approaches to this question the author of the article claims that there is not a pure or strong opposition between structure and event. The latter starts to be structural and that's why it becomes more concrete and specific. Moreover, event allows to reveal long-term historic process and structures. Finally, in the third part of his article, the author presents the history arisen from Braudel's historical analysis as a kind of evolutionary system. Owing to this fact he can coin a concept of 'historic mutation', a special form of transformation, which could characterize the role of event in the historic development.
