“Civilization” as a symptom

Abstract: The article deals with the question of the appropriateness of using the term “civilization” in a historical work. It is shown that the internal inconsistency of this term makes it insufficiently neutral for history-as-science, but, probably, it can serve as a symptom of certain circumstances of history-as-process.

Keywords: Gurko, history, culture, necessity, contingency, historical narrative, formant.
