Description The article interprets Carlo Ginzburgs conjectural paradigm from a hermeneutical point of view. The crucial distinction between Galilean science and conjectural method is explained with a focus on its hermeneutical aspects. The study tries to understand historiography as a science, critically discussing Poppers discourse. The main question of this interpretation is a predictive value of theory and also its universal demand. The article argues, that the history as science is possible only if theoretical universalism is abandoned.
