Heinrich Rickert (1863 1936) was one of the leading neo-Kantian
philosophers in Germany and a crucial figure in the discussions of
the foundations of the social sciences in the first quarter of the
twentieth century. His views were extremely influential, most
significantly on Max Weber. The Limits of Concept Formation in
Natural Science is Rickert's most important work, and it is here
translated into English for the first time. It presents his
systematic theory of knowledge and philosophy of science, and deals
particularly with historical knowledge and the problem of
demarcating the natural from the human sciences. The theory Rickert
develops is carefully argued and of great intrinsic interest. It
departs from both positivism and neo-Hegelian idealism and is
worked out by contrast to the views of others, particularly Dilthey
and the early phenomenologists.
