[Hermeneutical moments of historical methodology]

Translated by Thomas Nemeth

pp. 99-115

Abstract

In this chapter, Shpet looks at Steinthal, who views psychology as the explanatory science among the human sciences. For Shpet, Steinthal's position requires us to clarify just what a psychological interpretation is. Through it, we can hope to obtain a more precise answer to just what is special about a historical interpretation as a distinctive type of interpretation. Shpet here also elaborates on the views of philologists after Boeckh who tended to identify their discipline with history, such as Droysen and Bernheim.
