Hans-Georg Gadamer on Objectivism - Dictionary of Arguments
I 306 Objectivism/GadamerVsObjectivism/Gadamer: Historical objectivism, by referring to its critical methodology, obscures the historical entanglement in the history of effect in which historical consciousness itself is situated. Although it uses its method of criticism to remove the ground from the arbitrariness of actualizing ingratiations with the past, it creates for itself the good conscience to deny the involuntary and not arbitrary but all-carrying preconditions that guide its own understanding, and thus to miss the truth that would be attainable with all the finiteness of our understanding. Historical objectivism resembles in this respect statistics, which is such an excellent propaganda tool precisely because it allows the language of "facts" to speak, thus feigning an objectivity that in reality depends on the legitimacy of its questions. >History of Effect/Gadamer._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
