History as a Science and the System of the Sciences

Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay between human and natural sciences, this volume argues that history serves as a crucial mediator. It challenges the notion that interpretation and explanation create a strict divide between these fields. By emphasizing the connection between natural sciences, technology, and pre-scientific experiences in the lifeworld, it critiques positivism's definitions of sciences. Additionally, it addresses the historical human sciences, offering analyses of how understanding others' expressions and historical context contribute to our knowledge of reality.
