Summary
Communication between science and the humanities is still extremely difficult and the splitting of knowledge into two 'cultures' presents a genuine problem. The boundaries have become increasingly transparent in the meantime, but they are still in existence and it is understandable that each of the two sides does not pay sufficient attention to the successes and the concerns of the other. This makes it all the more necessary to show the possibilities of entering into a dialog without playing down the controversial positions. The volume has been divided into two parts: 'Points of Dispute' and 'Points of View.' The contributors to the first part deal mainly with Hans Albert's Critique of Pure Hermeneutics, in which Heidegger's and Gadamer's neglect of nature and the scientific method are criticized in particular. In the second part an attempt is made to bring the subject matter and the methods of hermeneutics, the analytical philosophy of language and science closer together.
