The book brings together several articles on the nature of history that the famous French historian from the Annales group Fernand Braudel (1902-1985) published between 1940 and the early 1960s. The author compares history with other human sciences in order to determine the possibilities of their mutual enrichment. In his generalizations, he outlines the ways of convergence of the human sciences, the place of the idea of longevity (la longue durée) as the essence of the historical process, the role of mathematics and computers in social scientific knowledge.
