TO THE QUESTION OF
GERMENEVTICAL APPROACH TO HISTORY
When
the discourse concerns the problems connected with the appeal to germenevtical
disclosure of history, in this case to priority roles there is a concept of
historical representation. Historical representation can be understood
differently, thus it becomes illegal a peculiar second step in relation to
historical knowledge. But, on the other hand, in this direction historical
representation should be considered as some attitude of historical knowledge
towards those historical objects which fall within the scope of analytical
representations of the researcher concerning these or those segments of history
as this analytical representation is justified by that in similar cases a
subject as that in empirical experience isn't presented.
We will
pay attention that historical representation will be connected not with some
certain empirical feelings of the social subject, and it is rather with
semantic and pragmatical aspects of the social subject concerning those
fragments when there is a certain process connected with an obtaining value.
The similar obtaining value is a little artificial procedure because in similar
situations the social subject deals not with social reality as with a reality,
namely that he puts forward as the sphere and further an object subject of the
research.
We will
note that the social subject in similar cases claims that subjects of this sort
are represented only when they give in to some cogitative processing on the one
hand, and on the other hand when in general they are thought as those. Thus
historical representations which can act through a sign ratio to object of
research pass into a framework of the linguistic philosophy connected with
questions of social philosophy and come to problems of semantics and semiotics.
Therefore when in similar cases the speech comes about that, interpretation of
historical knowledge is how valid, it must be kept in mind that the similar
knowledge can't be valid in some empirical sense though it is necessary to say
that it is that in some subjective sense.
The
matter is that considering a ratio historical and logical in scientific
knowledge, it is necessary to pay attention that itself historical in a similar
case it is possible to consider not as a certain object of research, and within
more simplified program connected by that the object is narrowed till the way.
Similar transformation concerns that the researcher the forefront of the
historical nominates the most social subject.
The
consideration of the social subject connected with the social phenomena,
processes the facts represents not literally that they really represented or
represent, and are more connected with how they, actually, are thought of us.
The
problem is complicated also by that if to consider the historical phenomena, to
connect them with concrete informative abilities of reason of the person, to
present historical events, historic facts, historical processes, anyway the
researcher faces problems which in general are quite natural but which thus are
solvable as it is necessary to accept at least one of two positions in
insufficient degree: or we argue on that historical material which is given in
sources, researches, texts and so on, or we say that these historic facts or
the phenomena are capable to be a subject of our empirical perception.
In the
latter case it isn't possible as, by definition, the history is in the past and
it should be studied only on the relevant sources, historical events and the
facts. That is there is a certain circle in research. However the similar
circle has a number of permissions, decisions and designations.
There
is rather interesting problem connected with as far as in language expression
of a certain communication between historic facts and historical events from
the point of view of their understanding and interpretation is possible. In
this context we will pay attention that if to speak about historic facts, from
a position of the present it is difficult to speak about their interpretation
or understanding without correlation of similar procedures with last time as
the facts and the phenomena took place in the past, and this last time has to correlate
with the present to receive a certain correlation.
Besides
this correlation there is also other not less important problem, namely:
assessment problem. If in the present the tools for an assessment of these or
those facts of the past aren't developed, there is other question. It is a
question that historic facts for additional interpretation demand new, perhaps
deeper analysis and correlation with that present in which there is a
researcher.
However
it is one side of the problem, is also other party. How researcher within the
present is trained for similar work, that is we face specifically the social
subject having the intentions, desires, representations, installations,
outlooks and that as far as he with all these characteristics is capable to apprehend
these or those historical characteristics, in this case in the form of the
facts.
It is a
big problem which in this direction didn't find the due reflection in modern
literature though we consider that the problems put in a number of works on
post-nonclassical rationality grant the right to claim that, arguing on the
questions connected with internal installations of the social subject it is
necessary to understand as far as these installations can correlate with last
and future segments within some historical process.
