Abstract:G. K. Chesterton had clear social ideas that closely reflect his views on the processes of interpretation and apprehension. This thesis can fruitfully be explored by an analysis of his detective fiction. As exegetes, his protagonists employ methods of investigation that diverge widely from the scientific approaches taken by detectives such as Sherlock Holmes. Illustrating Chesterton's antipositivistic social philosophy, this methodical clash also demonstrates the social harm scientific methods can cause and the social need of alternative hermeneutical approaches.

理解在 GK Chesterton 侦探小说中的社会角色

摘要：GK Chesterton 具有清晰的社会观念，密切反映了他对解释和理解过程的看法。通过对他的侦探小说的分析，可以对这篇论文进行富有成效的探索。作为解经家，他的主人公采用的调查方法与福尔摩斯等侦探所采用的科学方法大相径庭。这种有条理的冲突说明了切斯特顿的反实证主义社会哲学，也证明了科学方法可能造成的社会危害以及替代解释学方法的社会需求。
