Wilhelm Dilthey on Enlightenment - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 242 Enlightenment/Dilthey/Gadamer: The fact that (...) the "point of view of reflection and doubt"(1) has to be taken and that this work is done "in all forms of scientific reflection" (and not otherwise) cannot be united with Dilthey's life-philosophical insights(2). Rather, the special ideal of scientific enlightenment is described here, which is so little compatible with the life-immanent reflection as it was almost Gadamer I 243 the Enlightenment, against which Dilthey's foundation in the philosophy of life was directed. Gadamer I 244 For Dilthey the Enlightenment is completed as historical enlightenment. >Lebensphilosophie/Dilthey. Gadamer: From here one can understand what Dilthey is doing to tie in with romantic hermeneutics. With their help, he succeeds in concealing the difference between the historical nature of experience and the mode of cognition of science, or better: in reconciling the mode of cognition of the humanities with the methodological standards of the natural sciences. >Hermeneutics/Schleiermacher, >Hermeneutics/Dilthey. 1. Ges. Schriften Vll, 3. 2. Already Misch has pointed this out: Lebensphilosophie und Phänomenologie, p. 295 and especially p. 312ff. Misch distinguishes between becoming conscious ("Bewusstwerden") and making conscious ("Bewusstmachen"). Philosophical reflection is both at the same time. But Dilthey wrongly seeks a continuous transition from one to the other. "The essentially theoretical direction towards objectivity cannot be extracted from the concept of the objectivation of life alone" (p. 298). The present study gives a different profile to this critique, which was practiced by Misch, in so far as it already reveals Cartesianism in romantic hermeneutics, which makes Dilthey's train of thought ambiguous here._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
