Wilhelm Dilthey on Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 230 Meaning/Dilthey/Gadamer: (...) Dilthey [thought of] Husserl's logical investigations as to be epoch-making(1) because concepts such as structure and meaning were legitimized, although they could not be derived from elements. They were now proven to be more original than these alleged elements from which and on which they were supposed to be based. Of course, Husserl's proof of the ideality of meaning was the result of purely logical investigations. DiltheyVsHusserl: What Dilthey makes of it is something completely different. For him, meaning is not a logical concept, but is understood as an expression of life. Life itself, this flowing temporality, is designed to create lasting units of meaning. Life itself lays itself out. It has a hermeneutic structure itself. Thus life forms the true basis of the humanities. Hermeneutics is not merely the romantic hereditary material in Dilthey's thinking, but results logically from the foundation of philosophy in "life". DiltheyVsHegel: Dilthey thinks of himself fundamentally superior to the "intellectualism" of Hegel precisely because of this. >Lebensphilosophie/Dilthey. 1. Dilthey, Ges.
