Wilhelm Dilthey on Philosophy - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 233
Philosophy/Dilthey/Gadamer: (...) the entire tradition for the historical consciousness [becomes] a self-encounter of the human mind. It thus draws to itself what seemed to be reserved for the special creations of art, religion and philosophy. Not in the speculative knowledge of the concept, but in the historical consciousness, the knowledge of the spirit of itself is completed
Gadamer I 234
by itself. It preserves historical spirit in everything. Even philosophy is only an expression of life. As long as it is aware of this, it thereby gives up its old claim to be knowledge through concepts. It becomes philosophy of philosophy, a philosophical justification of the fact that there is philosophy in life - besides science. In his latest works Dilthey has designed such a philosophy of philosophy, in which he attributed the types of worldview to the multi-sidedness of life that is interpreted in them.(1) Cf. >Life/Dilthey
, >Historical Consciousness/Dilthey, >Spirit/Dilthey, >Lebensphilosophie/Dilthey.
