Wilhelm Dilthey on Consciousness - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 236 Consciousness/Infinfinity/Finiteness/Dilthey/Gadamer: For Dilthey, the consciousness of finiteness did not mean an infinity of consciousness and no limitation. Rather, it testifies to life's ability to rise above all barriers in energy and activity. In this respect, it is precisely the potential infinity of the spirit that is represented in him. Certainly not speculation, but historical reason is the way in which this infinity is actualized. Historical understanding spreads over all historical circumstances and is truly universal because it has its firm ground in the totality and infinity of the spirit. For this, Dilthey follows the ancient teaching that derives the possibility of understanding from the sameness of human nature. >Historical Consciousness/Dilthey, >Understanding/Dilthey, >Spirit/Dilthey._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
