At the sources of philosophical hermeneutics. W. Dilthey and E. Husserl: Kyiv, Naukova dumka, 1992, 124 p.

Synopsis

The monograph contains a detailed critical analysis of Dilthey's hermeneutics. The author examines the features of the controversy between the intellectual traditions of "philosophy of life" and "philosophy of consciousness" in Dilthey's historical doctrine of science, and identifies the results of this controversy with regard to Dilthey's concept of hermeneutics. The author clarifies the typological forms that Dilthey's hermeneutics took under the influence of the phenomenology of Husserl's "Logical Investigations" and which determined the radical ontological metamorphosis of the principle of historicism and the problem of understanding in Heidegger and his followers.
