This volume goes beyond presently available phenomenological
analyses based on the structures and constitution of the lifeworld.
It shows how the science of history is the mediator between the
human and the natural sciences. It demonstrates that the
distinction between interpretation and explanation does not imply a
strict separation of the natural and the human sciences. Finally,
it shows that the natural sciences and technology are inseparable,
but that technology is one-sidedly founded in pre-scientific
encounters with reality in the lifeworld. In positivism the natural
sciences are sciences because they offer causal explanations
testable in experiments and the humanities are human sciences only
if they use methods of the natural sciences. For epistemologists
following Dilthey, the human sciences presuppose interpretation and
the human and natural sciences must be separated. There is
phenomenology interested in psychology and the social sciences that
distinguish the natural and the human sciences, but little can be
found about the historical human sciences. This volume fills the
gap by presenting analyses of the material foundations of the
"understanding" of expressions of other persons, and of primordial
recollections and expectations founding explicit expectations and
predictions in the lifeworld. Next, it shows, on the basis of
history as applying philological methods in interpretations of
sources, the role of a universal spatio-temporal framework for
reconstructions and causal explanations of "what has really
happened".
