“…Certainly a wider debate on the role and meaning of political theory in processes of conceptualization and interpretation of results of empirical research becomes unavoidable (Levy, 1998) The process can be considered, according to T. Klementewicz's designation, as theoretization of political science, which became "the direction of reorientation of the theoretically-methodological awareness of political scientists" (Klementewicz, 1991, p. 45). Subsequently, following the path of Western political science, it can be expected that interest in historical studies on the development of political science will rise, what in a situation of theoretical diversification can constitute an important point of departure for serious discussions over the condition, identity, methodological status and growth trends of the discipline in countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Condren, 1997).…”

In the countries of Middle and Eastern Europe the collapse of „real socialism” was followed by the annulment of political and ideological supervision over scientific researches. Since then the political theory has been developing in an unembarrassed way, drawing investigative patterns with the tradition of western political sciences. Form this perspective, the expression „westernization” used with regard to political theory signifies the process of going away from Marxism and historical materialism. The article focuses on two essential trends of this process. The main consequence is the pluralization of theoretical bases of investigations, which signifies not only differentation, but also the lack of predominant theory. The international program for monitoring the development since 1990, shows that new investigative trends disclose a division between the traditional and current model of politology, which demonstrates the topicality of arguments raised in western academic debatesover the theoretical condition and status of political science discipline.

“…His political sympathy for a mild cultural nationalism, coupled with his schematic opposition between pluralism and monism, provides a kind of predetermined axis on which to locate, and evaluate, the claims of other thinkers, past and present. Of course, there is a venerable, if potentially 'anachronistic', tradition of writing the history of political thought in such ways (Condren 1997). However, its difference from much contemporary reflection pertaining to questions of methodology and intellectual history is plain to see.…”

Typically evaluated for the merits or otherwise of his famous account of 'value pluralism', Isaiah Berlin's more general political thought is less often discussed. However, broader reflection sheds light on three crucial elements necessary for a proper understanding of Berlin's work. First, it shows the importance and context of his analysis of Marx and Marxism in providing the basis for his distinction between pluralism and monism. Secondly, through his criticisms of Marxism, Berlin's political sympathy for a moderate nationalism, something also reflected in his personal considerations regarding Jewish identity, can more easily be gauged. Thirdly, and in conclusion, a combination of this political preference and the 'pluralism-monism' dichotomy offers an explanation as to why Berlin wrote the history of political ideas as he did.

“…Outros tipos de respostas foram: restringir o alcance de Skinner ao plano do método (JARDINE, 2000;TOSH, 2003), encontrar critérios para admitir determinados anacronismos como legítimos (PRUDOVSKY, 1997;JARDINE, 2000;BRUSH, 2004;HADDOCK, 2004;LYNCH, 2004;DUCHEYNE, 2006;BARROS, 2017), e oferecer tipologias para a pluralidade dos anacronismos (CONDREN, 1997;ŠPELDA, 2012). Em muitas dessas respostas, a abordagem de Skinner foi traduzida como aposta radical de entendimento por meio da linguagem dos agentes históricos, de modo que tudo o que extrapolasse essa linguagem seria considerado anacrônico e, portanto, reprovável.…”

O objetivo deste balanço é sintetizar o que foi escrito nas últimas décadas sobre o conceito de anacronismo em diferentes campos do conhecimento. O panorama oferecido revela que o anacronismo compreende vários significados (dentre eles: atribuição conceitual, ferramenta heurística, tabu profissional e índice de consciência histórica) e que existem estratégias para lidar com ele (criação de tipologias e critérios de admissão, reafirmação do tabu, crítica radical, entre outras). Além disso, o conceito desempenha papel de grande importância nas disputas intelectuais, cuja reflexão oferece uma ocasião privilegiada para o exercício de poder sobre a historiografia. Conclui-se que o anacronismo é um conceito polissêmico, duradouro e polêmico, e que seu valor normativo parece comprometer o estudo de sua história.
