historiodicea
  20

1 . It is the concept of historical justice, the search for a justification or explanation of the evil in history in humanity. Historiodice, far from falling into historical revisionism, looks for the ways in which evil has manifested itself historically and how it has been justified in order to defend its actions, which were considered necessary and inevitable for the development of human cultures and civilizations, without really a basis to justify them.

It is a neologism used in philosophy inspired by theodicy ("God's command, divine justice"), assuming that historical evolution has its own rules and that of course they lack empathy towards the human being. Of Greek etymology it is formed by the words 953; 963; 964; 959; 961; 953; 945; ( history "to know") 948; 953; 954; 951; (dike "justice"), and is interpreted as the "inescapable justice of history, the justification of the facts because that is how they had to happen".
