Abstract
This essay explores concepts of evolution and progress in exemplary nineteenth and twentieth century contributions to cultural historiography: Theodor Mommsen, Andrea Carandini, Max Weber, Isaiah Berlin. How are such concepts related to the ways these scholars position themselves epistemologically within the theory and history of science? In a critical confontation with these examples Ernst Cassirer's model of historiography is discussed as a cultural science of action.
