ABSTRACT

This paper interprets Dilthey’s treatment of history and historical science through his engagement with Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy. It focuses on Dilthey’s account of the possibility of objectivity in the Geisteswissenschaften. It finds in Dilthey a view of history as a law-governed, dynamical structure expressing the totality of human life, cast in a reworked Hegelian notion of objective spirit. The aim of historical thought is to understand the unity of this structure to the greatest extent possible, and thereby to understand lived experience itself. Dilthey’s epistemological standpoint recommends beginning with concrete studies in the special human sciences, and working toward a more general representation of the regularities and patterns in the historical record.

摘要

本文通过狄尔泰对康德和后康德哲学的参与来解释狄尔泰对历史和历史科学的处理。它侧重于狄尔泰在Geisteswissenschaften 中对客观性可能性的说明。它在狄尔泰中发现，历史是一种受法律支配的、动态的结构，表达了人类生活的整体，并注入了重新设计的黑格尔客观精神概念。历史思想的目的是尽可能地理解这种结构的统一性，从而理解生活经验本身。狄尔泰的认识论立场建议从特殊人文科学的具体研究开始，并努力对历史记录中的规律和模式进行更普遍的表示。
