Conception of historic narrative in the modern philosophy of history

The paper considers the theories of historical narrative in the analytic philosophy of history. Their typical features are distinguished as the following: using the formal method of research, striving for an analysis of the structure and logic of the historical narrative statements, understanding of the historical narrative as a certain organizing scheme (construction) which is created by a historian. It is underlined that the main task of the historical narrative is attaching importance to the events of the past through the use of understanding and interpretation.
