This study recapitulates basic developments in the tradition of
hermeneutic and phenomenological studies of science. It focuses on
the ways in which scientific research is committed to the universe
of interpretative phenomena. It treats scientific research by
addressing its characteristic hermeneutic situations, and uses the
following basic argument in this treatment: By demonstrating that
science's epistemological identity is not to be spelled out in
terms of objectivism, mathematical essentialism,
representationalism, and foundationalism, one undermines scientism
without succumbing scientific research to "procedures of
normative-democratic control" that threaten science's cognitive
autonomy. The study shows that in contrast to social
constructivism, hermeneutic phenomenology of scientific research
makes the case that overcoming scientism does not imply restrictive
policies regarding the constitution of scientific objects.
