Abstract
Philosopher Henri Berr wrote about histriography in 1911: "We can say on scholarship, that it either doesn't exist, or is permanently in crisis". Since this age was many times discussed the topic of "crisis", "revolution", "turn" or that humanities are on the end of their existence.
Ongoing text is dealing with the term "crisis" in context of history of historiography. Author is demonstrating on "crisis of historism" and "crisis of structuralism" epestemological implications of using the term "crisis" and reconstructing the image of development of historiography, which is traditionally connected with using the term "crisis".
In the conclusion author suggests alternative metaphors for thinking the humanities.
