Analitikos–hermeneutikos kontroversija (Retrospekcijos bruožai)

Abstract

and empiricism, while contemporary attempts to reinterpret these basic methodological approaches under subsuming post-modern vocabulary also revoice their predecessor, Kantian project of transcendental idealism. Therefore, postmodern discourse first of all stands as a persist-ence of bipolar modern epistemology and, by the šame token, of analytic/hermeneutic controversy. Second, the centrai ąuestion of hermeneutics of how to properly cope with specifically human world of meaning, the problem of understanding, has its analytical counterpart, the centrai ąuestion of analytic philosophy of how to delineate the proper epistemological borders separating natūrai and hu-man universe, the problem of demarcation. Thus the retrospect of analytic/hermeneutic controversy unfolds as a history of ttvofold articulation of the topography of different kinds of knowledge and their epistemic value. Third, an adequate retrospection of analytic/hermeneutic controversy endemically entails and is underpinned by the metaphilosophi-cal problematics, focused on the ąuestion of the specificity, limits and demarcation lines of the philosophical discourse itself.
