This study brings together ideas developed over many years in various lectures in an endeavour to clarify the concept of hermeneutic fore-structure of scientific research. The starting point of my investigations was the outline of an interp- tative approach to the constitution of science's cognitive content. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied with a question that nowadays should be formulated as follows: Is it possible to claim a validity of the hermeneutic view of the "situatedness in a tradition" also for the natural sciences? I was convinced that the negative answer implies a...

In "The Tenets of Cognitive Existentialism," Dimitri Ginev draws on devel-opments in hermeneutic phenomenology and other programs in hermeneutic philosophy to inform an interpretative approach to scientific practices. At stake is the question of whether it is possible to integrate forms of reflection upon the ontological difference in the cognitive structure of scientific research. A positive answer would have implied a proof that ("pace "Heidegger) science is able to think. This book is an extended version of such a proof. Against those who claim that modern science is doomed to be...

Cognitive existentialism is a version of hermeneutic philosophy. The volume provides a summation of the critical approaches to this version. All essays are engaged in probing the value of universal hermeneutics. Drawing on various conceptions developed in analytical and Continental traditions, the authors explore the interpretative dimensions of scientific inquiry. They try to place the projects of their investigations in historical, socio-cultural, and political contexts. The task of extending hermeneutics to the natural sciences is an initiative of much relevance to the dialogue between the...

L interet primordial des etudes recueillies dans la collection est cet espace de possibilites. Le point commun des recherches est ce que le mythe de l emancipation ignore: la finitude et la transcendance immanente de l experience humaine. Le prefixe post se refere non seulement a un mode specialise de philosopher comme metaphysique, mais plutot a l identite metaphysique de la modernite. L hermeneutique philosophique...
