Wilhelm Dilthey on History - Dictionary of Arguments

Pfotenhauer IV 62
History/understanding/Vico/Dilthey: Dilthey wanted to adhere to Vico's principle of the general comprehensibility of historical phenomena. This should be asserted against the positivist indifference that was determined to look at history and nature in the same way. (DiltheyVsComte).
>A. Comte
.
Dilthey's thesis: Dilthey proposed to interpret the event from the point of view of the objectives of interested, value-oriented subjects.(1)
>Purposes, >Intentions, >Action.
Pfotenhauer IV 63
HeideggerVsDilthey/GadamerVsDilthey/Pfotenhauer: From Heidegger(3) to Gadamer(3) the reproach of historical-esthetic presumption arose; one wanted to delightfully take posession of the humane in a way of understanding everything. The limitations of perspectives that have been shaped by biographical history are not methodically taken into account sufficiently. "Everyone is the most distant thing to oneself".
>Understanding, >Hermeneutics, >Self-knowledge.
Nietzsche's dictum could be regarded as a pointed wording for this objection.
Pfotenhauer IV 97
Form/Content/Art/Nietzsche/Pfotenhauer: (F.Nietzsche 1888(4)): One is an artist at the price, that what all non-artists call 'form' is perceived as content, as the 'thing itself'.
Content/Nietzsche/Pfotenhauer: the content would be the internal coherence itself, the internal coherence of the content.
>Content, >Historiography.
