Hermeneutic philosophy and human experience
an intercultural perspective of worldviews and life world in the mapuche culture
Ricardo Salas
pp. 163-179
We are mainly concerned with developing the categories of worldviews and life world in the framework of the a priori historic cultural encounter.Philosophically, this specific issue is addressed in the VIII volume of Dilthey's work, in the volume Weltanschauunglehre, where he presents his theory about world views,1 meaning the diverse ways in which life (leben) expresses itself, and where the conceptions attempt to interpret life's (leben) changing experiences and resolve life's mystery. The conceptions' diversity arises from the variety of psychic experiences and attitudes towards life. There exist, according to Dilthey, three kinds of conceptions that he analyses in the above text: the religious, the poetic and philosophic one.
