In this article, we tried to examine the history of the conceptual development of the revolution in the West by looking at the conceptual framework of Reinhart Koselleck from the history of concepts and explain its complicated historical moments by explaining the historical conditions. Revolution is one of the fundamental concepts in the framework of history, which, like other fundamental concepts, represents the movement of history. In this article, we tried to show the Janusian face of the revolution and explain how different historical moments were effective in the semantic formulation of the revolution. We believe that before the new era, the concept of revolution was often used in a non-political sense, referring to eras and revolutions, and in some cases, we can point to the half of the 16th century when this concept has a political meaning; In this reference, revolution can be read as a kind of return to the past or a reinterpretation of the past. Since the middle of the 18th century, the concept of revolution has been used with a linear and forward view. In this article, we have mentioned the historical course stored behind this concept and also, we have addressed the traces of different moments of transformation that have hidden themselves in the concept of revolution and can be summoned and called anew according to the conditions.
