Jörn Rüsen approaches the responsibility/irresponsibility dichotomy in this article as a constitutive element of historian’s work. From a triple-levelled perspective of responsibility item (reception, representation and projection of the past), proposes to historians an anthropologic- hermeneutical formulation in methodological terms in order to overcome the intersubjectivity frame established between past and present, with historians and its scientifically and citizen oriented features in the middle.
