In "The Tenets of Cognitive Existentialism," Dimitri Ginev
draws on devel-opments in hermeneutic phenomenology and other
programs in hermeneutic philosophy to inform an interpretative
approach to scientific practices. At stake is the question of
whether it is possible to integrate forms of reflection upon the
ontological difference in the cognitive structure of scientific
research. A positive answer would have implied a proof that ("pace
"Heidegger) "science is able to think." This book is an extended
version of such a proof. Against those who claim that modern
science is doomed to be exclusively committed to the nexus of
objectivism and instrumental rationality, the interpretative theory
of scientific practices reveals science's potentiality of
hermeneutic self-reflection. Scientific research that takes into
consideration the ontological difference has resources to enter
into a dialogue with Nature. Ginev offers a critique of postmodern
tendencies in the philosophy of science, and sets out arguments for
a feminist hermeneutics of scientific research.
