Abstract

The article presente the famous debate of 1903 between Françoise Simiand, Emile Durkheim's disciple, and the most prestigious French historians of the late XIX century, such as Paul Lacombe, Charles Seignobos, Charles Victor Langlois. Simiand questions the History of events and great characters prevailing until that moment, suggesting the only method possible is the one of Social Sciences, based on statistics and capable of producing abstractions of a scientific type, The debate between History and Social Sciences is renewed in the 1960' by the Annales School and the influential stucturalism movement of those years.
