description The object of the article of Aurelien Gros is to question the possibility of an empirical study of the production of the historical knowledge. Which tools can be used to report the process of historical research whose historical text constituted a written result ? Two authors are put here in contribution. On one hand John Dewey who, proposing a theory of inquiry, defines this one as active process and isolates sequences from it since the initial problem until its resolution ; on the other hand Max Weber who, by his method of the ideal type, describes empirically the functioning of the historical sciences. Instruments proposed by these two authors allow to seize the historical thought not as a contents, but as a dynamic process, a practice of thought joining particular situations and permanent interaction between the historian and its present.
