Abstract
Against the backdrop of hermeneutics and German Romanticism, this essay traces the institutional, historical, and conceptual contours of the notion of Geisteswissenschaften. In this context, it concentrates on the conceptions of Kant, Fichte, von Humboldt, and, at greater length, on Dilthey's efforts to use a notion of Geist to meld together life, theory, and the institution. It then plots the transition from a concern with Geist to a concern with Kultur.
Highlights
Sur l'arrière-plan de l'herméneutique et du romantisme allemand, l'auteur trace les contours institutionnels, historiques et conceptuels de la notion de Geisteswissenschaften
That is since the Middle Ages down to the 18th century, hermeneutics, in its different domains, had been practiced, with methodological rigor, in matters theological, reasonable or socially functionalized
In any case, given its long-term socio-cultural anchorage, had been able to conduct itself as rule-governed exegesis
Summary
Sur l’arrière-plan de l’herméneutique et du romantisme allemand, l’auteur trace les contours institutionnels, historiques et conceptuels de la notion de Geisteswissenschaften. Il élabore plus spécifiquement les conceptions de Kant, Fichte, von Humbolt et, plus longuement, les efforts que déploie Dilthey pour élaborer, à l’aide de la notion de Geist, une conception globale de la vie, de la théorie et des institutions. Il décrit ensuite le changement qui a permis à la notion de Kultur de succéder, au centre du débat, à celle de Geist
