English to Portuguese: Quotation from Mandelbaum, Maurice [1967] 1972. “Historicism.”In: The Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Edited by Paul Edwards .New York: Macmillan; The Free Press, p. 24 General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English One may plausibly infer from Hayek's discussion of historicism that the sense in which he and Popper conceived the notion probably derived from Menger's original contrast between scientific theory-construction and a primarily historical approach to problems in the social sciences However, the specific form of historicism which both Hayek and Popper attacked was the nineteenth-century doctrine that there are laws of development which characterize social wholes and that it is possible, on the basis of a knowledge of such laws, to make scientific predictions about the future. Thus, the notion of “holism”, which had not previously been directly associated with the definition of historicism, was injected into the discussion, and the chief protagonists of historicism were identified as Hegel, Comte, and Marx. When taken in this sense, three theses were common to historicist doctrines: (1) a rejection of “methodological individualism” in favor of the view that there are social wholes which are not reducible to the activities of individuals; (2) the doctrine that there are laws of development of these wholes, considered as wholes; (3) the belief that such laws permit predictions as to the course which the future will take. While these three theses were intimately connected with some of the doctrines previously characterized as examples of historicism, there seems to be no necessity for identifying historicism with holistic thought and with a belief in the possibility of prediction, as Popper and Hayek tend to do.

Translation - Portuguese Pode-se inferir plausivelmente da discussão de Hayek sobre o historicismo que o sentido em que ele e Popper concebiam a noção provavelmente era derivado do contraste original de Menger entre construção de teoria científica e uma abordagem essencialmente histórica aos problemas nas ciências sociais. No entanto, a forma específica de historicismo que tanto Hayek quanto Popper atacaram era a doutrina do século XIX de que há leis de desenvolvimento que caracterizam totalidades sociais e de que é possível, com base num conhecimento de tais leis, fazer previsões científicas sobre o futuro. Assim, a noção de “holismo”, que não havia anteriormente sido diretamente associada com a definição de historicismo, foi injetada na discussão, e os principais protagonistas do historicismo passaram a ser identificado como Hegel, Comte e Marx. Tomadas nesse sentido, três teses seriam comuns às doutrinas historicistas: (1) uma rejeição do “individualismo metodológico” em favor da visão de que há totalidade sociais que não são redutíveis às atividades dos indivíduos; (2) a doutrina de que há leis de desenvolvimento dessas totalidades, consideradas como totalidades; (3) a crença em que tais leis permitem previsões sobre o curso que o futuro tomará. Enquanto essas três teses foram intimamente conectadas com algumas das doutrinas anteriormente caracterizadas como exemplos de historicismo, não parece haver necessidade de identificar o historicismo com o pensamento holista e com a crença na possibilidade de previsão, como Popper e Hayek tendem a fazer.

Bio
I have more than 10 years of experience in Education, in teaching, research and in administrative positions. I'm a sociologist by training, but my passion has always been language. Nowadays, I work as a translator and as an English teacher by vocation.
I have a lot of experience with Academic English, but I have a broad vocabulary and I am able to quickly acquire specialized vocabulary. I really enjoy translating, both to and from English, and I'll love to work with you!
