The philosopher and historian of culture Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911) has had a significant and continuing influence on twentieth-century Continental philosophy and in a broad range of scholarly disciplines. This volume is the third to be published in 快色直播’s projected six-volume series of his most important works. Part One makes available three of his works on hermeneutics and its history: 鈥淪chleiermacher’s Hermeneutical System in Relation to Earlier Protestant Hermeneutics鈥 (The Prize Essay of 1860); 鈥淥n Understanding and Hermeneutics鈥 (1867-68), based on student lecture notes, and the 鈥淭he Rise of Hermeneutics鈥 (1900), which traces the history of hermeneutics back to Hellenistic Greece. All the addenda to this well-known essay are translated here, some for the first time. In them Dilthey articulates three philosophical aporias concerning hermeneutics and projects an ultimate convergence between understanding and explanation.
Part Two provides translations of review essays by Dilthey on Buckle’s use of statistical history and on Burckhardt’s cultural history; an essay 鈥淔riedrich Schlosser and the Problem of Universal History;鈥 and a talk recalling his early years as a student of Boeckh, Jakob Grimm, Mommsen, Ranke, and Ritter. It also contains the important historical essay 鈥淭he Eighteenth Century and the Historical World,鈥 in which Dilthey reexamines the Enlightenment to show its significant contributions to the rise of historical consciousness.
