Abstract: In this article, I aim to comprehend the contemporary developments in the methodology of history. My motivation to do so stems from my reading of the recently published textbook on the methodology of history edited by Ewa Domańska and Jan Pomorski. In this text, I endeavour to comprehend the contemporary research engagements of the methodology of history and to demonstrate their connection with Jerzy Topolski's original project of the methodology of history. This analysis examines the relationship between the earlier and the current research agendas of the methodology of history, with a particular focus on the category of historical change. The analysis also considers the postulates for the methodology of history, which have been formulated with the assumption that historical (social) change can be accounted for in different ways. The first postulate concerns the valorization of change, the second concerns the representation of change.
