Interpretation and the sciences of man

Charles Taylor

pp. 47-101

Is there a sense in which interpretation is essential to explanation in the sciences of man? The view that it is, that there is an unavoidably "hermeneutical" component in the sciences of man, goes back to Dilthey. But recently the question has come again to the fore, for instance, in the work of Gadamer,1 in Ricoeur's interpretation of Freud,2 and in the writings of Habermas.3
