More From Wilhelm Dilthey
- "The knife of historical relativism… which has cut to pieces all metaphysics and religion must also bring about healing."
- "To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one’s own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point."
- "All science is experiential; but all experience must be related back to and derives its its validity from the conditions and context of consciousness in which it arises, i.e., the totality of our nature."
