Nowadays there are two models to structure the logic of historical information: the dialectic and the unicist double dialectic. The unicist approach to history seeks for the natural roots of cultural evolution and avoids ideological contamination in history. This book provides the Unicist Methodology for Historical Research. It includes the unicist ontology of history that has been researched to understand the nature of evolution. History is supposed to deliver secure knowledge to be aware of the reality one is living in, in order to be able to live in an adapted way. The unicist approach to history besides delivering the ontology for historical research, demonstrates the fallacy of the dialectic model. The unicist historical research model is based on the unicist ontology of evolution considering that the structure "thesis-antithesis-synthesis" is inexistent and that the "simple" dialectic is an over-simplification to foster voluntarism. The unicist ontology of evolution considers that natural evolution is ruled by a double dialectic behavior: 1) Thesis-antithesis and 2) Thesis-homeostasis. The integration of both dialectics defines the ontological structure of a given reality. The unicist methodology of historical research is based on the analysis of events and their inclusion in an ontological structure. This explains history integrating the descriptive, interpretative, anthropological and ontological approaches. This methodology considers ideologies as a part of the structure, but avoids ideological contamination in history.
