The modern social sciences, as we know them today, were constituted in the second half of the nineteenth century, guided by the postulates of positivism. In the middle of that process, Nietzsche published the text “On the Use and Abuse of History for Life”, in 1874. In it, he criticized with hardness to those who conceive History as a luxury article, to those who believe that knowledge has to do nothing with life and the activities of men. On the contrary, he proposes a trinity of methods for history: monumental, antiquarian, and critical. This work, beyond its simulated history game appearance, is an exegesis of the German philosopher’s article, and an invitation to museum professionals, so that we reflect on the orientation we give to history museums and evaluate whether our activities are closer to uncompromising self-absorption or commitment to people’s lives.Downloads
