Sample text
We can find in Bultmann's writings concrete directions toward a general hermeneutics which is both philosophical and methodological in its intent. An essay published in 1950, "The Problem of Hermeneutics," contains an outline of his position. Developing his views out of and against those of Dilthey and Heidegger, Bultmann states that in any interpretation one must consider first the vital existential relationship (Lebensbezug) which both the author and the interpreter share with respect to the matter at hand expressed in the text.
There can be no understanding and interpretation on the part of Dasein without such preunderstanding. These ideas would later be reapplied to the human sciences and the humanities and their history by Gadamer in his attempt to investigate their operations in order to determine their underlying structures of preunderstanding. Heidegger, too, deals with the nature of interpretive statements, the kind we expect to find in the works of historians, social scientists, or literary critics. " They are the forms which understanding takes in the human sciences.
According to Dilthey, what we understand as humanists or human scientists is always a manifestation of human life, a "life-expression" (Lebensausserung). But understanding itself is a manifestation of life; acts of understanding are lived by us, they constitute "lived experience" (Erlebnis). 75 A "life-expression" points back at a "lived experience" as its source, and we understand its expressed meaning (Ausdruck) in the 26 Introduction form of a "lived experience" again. It seems appropriate at this point to comment briefly on Dilthey's use of terms if we want to avoid some of the common misunderstandings and confusions arising from his use of terminology.
