in: Olga Kiss (ed), Hermeneutics and science, Berlin, Springer, 1999Abstract
A so-called hermeneutic philosophy of science is, within English speaking contexts, both a recent and a minoritarian tradition. Its roots are more deeply Euro-American than Anglo-American and the latter developments remain, even today, dominant in those contexts. Yet today there is a certain strength to be found amongst a generation of philosophers both appreciative of science and tutored in the Continental European traditions of philosophy.
