This philosophy involves the analysis of the procedures that make historical interpretations reasonably within an historiographic community of peers, the use of documentary evidence, the debate on inferences, and the assessment of colligatory theses. For the philosophy of historiography, particularly in the version developed by J.-M. Kuukkanen, the “narrativist” constructivism is a particular aspect within a wider comprehension of historians’ practices where the rational argumentation and the use of evidence has priority in the choice between competing interpretations by the historians’ community. The argument here developed shows that the “narrativist insight” loses of sight the critico-cultural dimension of narrativism regarding historical representations and reproduces the dualism between interpretation and epistemology that Frank Ankersmit refered to as the “dilemma of Anglo-Saxon philosophy of history”.  El último cuarto de siglo ha visto consolidarse una variante de la filosofía de la historia en términos de una “filosofía de la historiografía”. Esta filosofía involucra el análisis de los procedimientos que hacen razonables a las interpretaciones históricas dentro de una comunidad historiográfica de pares, a través del uso de evidencias documentales, el debate sobre las inferencias y la evaluación de las tesis coligatorias. En la filosofía de la historiografía, particularmente en la versión “postnarrativista” desarrollada por J.-M. Kuukkanen, el constructivismo “narrativista” es un aspecto particular dentro de las prácticas historiadoras en las que la argumentación racional y el uso de evidencias poseen primacía en la preferencia de la comunidad historiadora entre interpretaciones divergentes. El argumento sostiene que la incorporación de la “intuición narrativista” reconocida en este enfoque devalúa la dimensión crítico-cultural del narrativismo respecto de las representaciones históricas y reproduce el dualismo entre interpretación y epistemología identificada por Frank Ankersmit como el “dilema de la filosofía anglosajona de la historia”.
