PresentismPresentisma term used in scholarly literature to designate a subjective, idealist school in 20th-century bourgeois historical methodology. Presentism viewed historiography not as a reflection of objective phenomena taking place in the past, but merely as the reflection of contemporary ideological attitudes. In absolutizing the obvious fact that any portrayal of the past presupposes a certain contemporary perspective, presentism in principle rejects the possibility of objective truth in understanding history. The concepts of presentism were most widespread in the USA from the 1920’s through the 1940’s, since the trend was closely connected with the philosophical school of pragmatism. presentism
