Romanticism on Science - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 279 Science/Romanticism/Gadamer: [The] revaluations of romanticism are the source of the attitude of historical science in the 19th century. It no longer measures the past by the standards of the present as if by an absolute; it ascribes its own value to past times and can even acknowledge their superiority in one respect or another. The great achievements of Romanticism, the awakening of the dawn of time, the hearing of the voice of the peoples in songs, the collection of fairy tales and legends, the cultivation of ancient customs, the discovery of languages as Gadamer I 280 world views, the study of the "religion and wisdom of the Indians" - they all triggered historical research, which slowly, step by step, transformed the foreboding reawakening into distant historical recognition. >Worldviews, >Religion. Historism: The connection of the historical school to Romanticism thus confirms that the Romantic repetition of the original itself is on the ground of the Enlightenment. The historical science of the nineteenth century is its proudest fruit and sees itself almost as the completion of the Enlightenment, as the final step in the liberation of the mind from dogmatic bias, the step towards the objective knowledge of the historical world, which is equal to the knowledge of nature through modern science. >Historism/Gadamer._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
