Timpul şi istoria în concepţia lui A.D. Xenopol şi Vasile Pârvan
Time and history at A.D. Xenopol and Vasile Pârvan

Summary/Abstract: The current study puts forward a problem that the historians and philosophers permanently took into account: the connections between time and historical becoming. The joint element of the historical theories analyzed – that of the series of development (A.D. Xenopol) and that of the historical rhythm (V. Pârvan) – is the temporal rhythm (chronotropy), a concept that developed especially in the biological sciences (medicine), being known also in the modern physics (microphysics). There is a connection between causality, succession, series of development, time and historical becoming, which is explained in the field of the historical ontology. The ratio between the rhythms of the historical becoming and Xenopol’s series can be described, in our opinion, by the concept of historical chronotropy.
