Abstract
Since the ancient times, various theories about history and the meaning of historical knowledge have been produced. History knowledge which is accepted as the truth has been explained in different philosophical approaches. In terms of historical knowledge, it has been primarily the philosophical trends that shape our modern understanding. History expresses numerous and unique incidents; in fact, it reveals the true information related to such events, but beyond the past. With the contribution of both East and West civilizations, history philosophy forms our current comprehension of history knowledge. Therefore, especially those approaches in the age of enlightenment and in the following areas history philosophy should be considered important as contributing to history science to reach modern comprehension in the light of contemporary ideas and those ideas that surpass their age. Since the age of enlightenment it has been history philosophers who have come up with ‘philosophic history’ and historians have been called “interpreters” or “historian philosophers”. Such a perception and comprehension has turned history knowledge and history science into a very different structure than that of the past. This study in which we want to explain this change and transition highlights this process particularly and also tries to consider the earlier factors that paved the way for the enlightenment.
