랑케의 보편사의 구상과 가다머의 해석학적 비판

초록

This study set out to analyze the historical studies of Lanke, who formulated his historical studies based on romantic hermeneutics, from a hermeneutical perspective. In the Part II of Truth and Method, Gadamer made an inquiry into problems that took place in the application process of romantic hermeneutics to historical studies. Specifically, he offered an explanation about the academic aporia inherent in the establishment process of hermeneutics as a unique academic theory in mental science from the romantic hermeneutics of Schleiermacher and through the historicism of Lanke, Droysen, and Dilthey. He thus considered Lanke as a figure that held an important status in the hermeneutics as well as historical studies. According to Gadamer, it seems that research on Lanke will not only help to tell a full account of hermeneutics being applied to concrete academic fields, but also make an essential research topic to understand the transmission process of hermeneutics from Schleiermacher to Dilthey. For Lanke, the method of understanding history with the history itself began with understanding the past itself. Consisting of such past times, the world history explores the history of the past itself rather than examining it theoretically after taking a certain perspective like Hegel. For Lanke, events in the past were not mere individual stages for the entire history, but parts of the entire history, which exactly matches the method of philological hermeneutics to interpret the meanings of individual texts with themselves. An investigation into how fully Lanke's discussions about historical studies practiced the principles of hermeneutics will thus be an interesting topic and provide a chance to examine his theoretical coherence.
