Resumen
This article presents the epistemological consequences of the new paradigm of the historic research, denominated, "historiographical turn". At present, the "historiographical turn" consists in sustaining that the job of the historian is reflexive. This reflexivity is manifested at two differents levels. First, when doing his research, the historician has to take into account that his own science is historical, and second that the concepts that he uses to describe and explain the past, are also historical. This fact, the historization of the own historic investigation, has forced the observer (the researcher as part of a scientific community) to be taken into account in the in the description that he makes of the reality. When introducing the observer into the observed, an epistemology of the historic science that interrogates itself about the function of the latent in the cognitive construction of the past emerges.
