Verstehen and Humane Understanding
Summary
This new collection of essays addresses topics that are of crucial importance to the lives of us all. Can we be rational about human life without being scientific? Is historical understanding different from scientific understanding? Do psychology, religion and aesthetics have their own forms of rationality? The contributors address these and related questions, some focusing on the history of the development of the notion of Verstehen, others examining particular areas of discourse and practice.
