9788573213829ILUMINURAS. new. Se nem todo fil�sofo deve ser historiador seria ao menos desej�vel que todo historiador se tornasse fil�sofo'. Essa frase do ingls Edward Gibbon 1737 1794 encontra-se em seu escrito de estreia Ensaio sobre o estudo da literatura esp�cie de discurso do m�todo da hist�ria filos�fica tal como praticada por seus predecessores: T�cito Montesquieu Hume. O volume que o leitor tem em mos traz pela primeira vez em l�ngua portuguesa esse escrito de juventude cujo car�ter polmico e estilo vigoroso caem bem a um jovem autor cheio de ambio e confiana. Em defesa da nova hist�ria Gibbon no hesita em se contrapor a Diderot e dAlembert que na Enciclop�dia haviam reduzido a hist�ria a uma disciplina da mem�ria. Contra essa banalizao Gibbon mostra que o gnio do historiador reside sobretudo no ju�zo acertado na escolha e interpretao dos fatos. Contra Rousseau ele defende a dignidade da investigao aprofundada das transaes pol�ticas e militares e das maneiras dos homens contra a hip�tese arbitr�ria de um estado de natureza descolado da historicidade que nos dispensaria de aceitar a hist�ria como instncia que faculta a compreenso da natureza humana. Tendo meditado sobre essas questes de fundo o jovem Gibbon se lana no estudo das fontes e documentos que permitem compreender a experincia hist�rica em filigrana. A primeira pea de car�ter hist�rico por ele redigida em 1764 � uma pequena obra-prima que atesta o surgimento de um talento extraordin�rio. Numa dissertao at� hoje insuperada Sobre os triunfos entre os romanos Gibbon pe em ao o m�todo divisado poucos anos antes e reconstitui com preciso e vivacidade um ritual perdido cujo sentido ele depreende de uma interpretao laboriosa de fatos esparsos por�m conclusivos. Em 1776 surge o primeiro volume daquela que ser� a sua obra-prima e um dos grandes livros da literatura moderna: Decl�nio e queda do Imp�rio Romano. Completado em 1784 esse estudo monumental apresenta nada menos que um painel das causas que levaram ao desabamento da maior mais imponente e mais longeva estrutura de poder jamais vista sobre a terra fiando-se pela hip�tese que ser� demonstrada ao longo do livro de que esse evento foi decisivo para a hist�ria subsequente incluindo-se a� a da Europa moderna e de sua expanso pelo globo. A traduo parcial de Decl�nio e queda para a l�ngua portuguesa um cl�ssico de Jos� Paulo Paes exclui duas dissertaes de interesse para essa tese geral uma delas sobre os germnicos a outra sobre os citas ou hunos ambas inclu�das neste volume.
