On the one hand, the professionalization and institutionalization of historical research progressed, and the first research paradigm was formulated. On the other hand, it very quickly became apparent that critical historiography (based on the assumptions of individualistic historicism), did not quite fit into the then dominant (formulated on the basis of the natural disciplines), canon of scientism. Wanting to "reform historical science", a new research model (positivist historiography) was proposed and the discussion of the sources of cognition was deepened. As a result, there were proposals to divide the sciences into humanities and natural sciences. Unfortunately, this did not protect Clio from further criticism. Some defended its scientific status, others denied its scientific status by inscribing it in the field of art. On the occasion of the discussions held in the 19th century, it is worth considering how many of the views propounded at that time, have retained their durability.}, title={Is history a science?
