Abstract

Doctrines of methods of humanistic disciplines and the problem of the development of methodologies for the human sciences; the canons of hermeneutics: a critical re-examination; an epistemological analysis of the first and the second canon; the application of the first and the second canon to the interpretation of fixed life expressions; and the application of a modified version of the first canon to historical reconstructions.
