Abstract

The hereby article aims to describe a few of the functions performed in the writings of Ernest Renan (1823-1892), published between the years of 1849 and 1863, during which the historian sought to examine how religions had previously been studied. In order to do so, a collection of prescriptions are narrated, in these texts, that long to determine how history (of religions) should be written and who could write it. Through the description of this prescriptive function, it will be possible to establish to an extent its relation to the edification of ways, concepts and procedures of objectivation of the historian and of historiography for that period. Thus, in the course of this study, different senses and domains in which the notion of “critique” has been used in disputes for truth in the 19th century’s knowledge of history come to focus.
