This paper covers the problems caused by the postmodern situation in historical knowledge, in which the very concept of historical truth has become blurred. The article presents the view that postmodernism, denying the existence of historical laws prejudices the existence of historical science. The story itself is breaking apart into the sum of facts. The purpose of the article is to find possible approaches to overcome the crisis in historical science, caused by the dissemination of postmodern approaches. It seems that the leading approach to the study of this problem is the principles of philosophical hermeneutics that uncover the process of cognition through the understanding of historical laws coming from Ricouer’s and Dilthey’s ideas. The materials of the article can be useful for application in specific historical studies and the process of teaching students.
