Consciência histórica: uma reflexão filosófico-hermenêutica sobre o sentido da interpretação da condição humana em W. Dilthey

Abstract

This monograph is entitled: Historical Consciousness: A Philosophical-Hermeneutical Reflection on the Meaning of the Interpretation of the Human Condition in W. Dilthey. The objective of this monograph is to reflect on historical consciousness as a possibility for understanding the meaning of the human condition. Historical consciousness presupposes the idea that Man, as a historical being, should not abandon his history, since his daily attitudes have his history as a source of action. Thus, historical consciousness should be seen as a basis for the progress of the philosophical-hermeneutical process, as well as the understanding of the life and worldview of Man. This research follows bibliographic research methodology, consisting of the reading and interpretation of the works of Wilhelm Dilthey and other hermeneutical philosophers who discuss the same highlighted theme under various prisms and social, political, philosophical and academic contexts, thus seeking the affirmation of historical consciousness. To that end, the following questions arise: under what conditions is historical consciousness considered a possibility for understanding the meaning of the human condition? This research concludes that there is a need to thoroughly analyze the criteria considered reliable for the progress of philosophical hermeneutics. Thus, the data collected in this research, especially in its theoretical framework, demonstrate the need for new hermeneutical approaches, above all, in the valorization of historical consciousness. The results of this investigation can serve as a basis for a more attentive and careful discussion in the area of ​​philosophical hermeneutics with the aim of invoking the relevance of historical consciousness in philosophical-hermeneutical activity and thus asserting itself as a necessary possibility for the hermeneutics of the human condition(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
