Article redefines the classic question of the history of Philosophy, its forms, meaning and justification, for this it incorporates the basic positions held on the subject by Fernando Montero and considers its connection with other contemporary approaches such as those of R. Rorty, with his distinction between historical reconstruction, rational reconstruction and Geistegeschichte approach, as three valid forms for the history of philosophy, that may also connect with the intellectual history, which takes us to the major historiographical transformations occurring along the last five decades associated with the names of Foucault, Koselleck, Blumenberg, Skinner and Pocock. Throughout this development what is in it of neohistoricism should be raised, i.e. a historiography that distances from the present, as claimed by Skinner, Blumenberg and Montero itself. The question then leads to the evaluation of meaning of this neohistoricism.
