Humanities sciences theories

This book aims to fill a gap in the philosophy of science, especially after Emil Bruecke rightly noted in his chronology of German philosophy that Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century was a fertile ground for the emergence of human and social sciences. The theories of these sciences have raised major issues in the ongoing philosophical debate in France. It is not surprising to find most of the following pages of this book dedicated to presenting the doctrines of German authors and the problems they raised.
