Abstract

Philosophical historiographies often use a hidden presupposition that history of philosophy consists of series of separate œuvres of philosophical authors. Methodologies of the historiography of philosophy based on this common presupposition usually intend to (re)construct complete philosophical systems from the papers of the œuvres, but have a blind spot toward the reconstruction of debates and controversies of the philosophical past; what are more interesting and more relevant in the historical understanding of philosophy, in many cases. An often observable naivety within the framework of the same methodology that the historian of philosophy takes the edition of complete works of a classic as given data, found in the nature, and disregards the circumstances of the publication process, including a tendency toward a posthumous system-making by the disciples and editors. The present paper offers examples for these impasses of the historiography of philosophy, from the history of the Hungarian thought. They are focussed on two important controversies of the 19th-century Hungarian philosophy, namely the Controversy on Kant (1792–1822), with its protagonists József Rozgonyi and István Márton, and the debate between the Hungarian followers of Hegel and the Hungarian common sense philosophers in the 1850s; the most referred authors are here János Erdélyi, Gusztáv Szontagh, and János Hetényi.
