Study on the philosophical hermeneutics and the importance of its use for the writing of history. The used sources are a text written for Ronaldo Vainfas, another one for Ciro Flamarion Cardoso and one third, produced for these two writers in set. Such texts belong to the intitled book Domínios da história: ensaio de teoria e metodogia, organized for the authors supply cited. From the sources, I try to evidence the traditions in which I myself movement and the methods used for the ones for Ciro and Vainfas.
