Summary:

Karl-Otto Apel, as much as any German theorist, bridges the gulf between Anglo-American and continental thought in both the style and content of his work. Understanding and Explanation clarifies the "explanation versus understanding" debate that has become central to the philosophy of the social sciences.

Apel reexamines the debate over the logic of the social sciences from the perspective of an expanded theory of science, and he proposes a resolution in transcendent-pragmatic terms. He differentiates three legitimate approaches to the social sciences, connected with three "knowledge-constitutive" interests: deductive-nomological sciences, historical-hermeneutic sciences, and critical-reconstructive sciences.

Karl-Otto Apel holds the chair for social philosophy at the University of Frankfurt. Understanding and Explanation is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

Customer Reviews:

Average Customer Rating: Score = 5.0 Score = 5.0 Score = 5.0 Score = 5.0 Score = 5.0

A brilliant but little known classic of philosophical thought.
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Apel's little known and under-appreciated classic. Apel brings his Peircean inspired linguisitic transformation of Kantian philosophy into a deep and rewarding confrontation with Von Wright's text, Explanation and Understanding. An extremely rewarding work of 'constructive' philosophy. Those who have read and appreciate the writings of Jurgen Habermas will appreciate this text, and indeed anyone interested in the linguistic turn in philosophy and yet does not want to subscribe to some of the more nihilistic conclusions of many modern day philosophers (and their parroting of some of Carl Schmitt's political philosophical views) will appreciate this text as well.
