I present here the original versions of my articles that were published in the Journal of the Philosophy of History 18 (2024) as part of a polemic about the implications of historical anti-realism. In the first article I argued that prominent formulations of historical anti-realism entail the view that no past events ever happened. The responses to this thesis by Frank Ankersmit, Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen and Paul Roth were published in the same issue. Obviously, I cannot include here these articles that I have not authored, but they can be obtained at https://brill.com/view/journals/jph/18/2/jph.18.issue-2.xml . My second article analyses their responses, and shows that they fail to refute the reductio to the absurd view that no past events ever happened.
