Abstract

This paper examines the assumptions and reasons for formulating a distinct approach to the study of the human being, one that would constitute a body of knowledge grounded in the specificity of human cognition, valuation, and action. It explores the origins of interest in the formulation of sciences concerning the phenomena of human reality, focusing on the contributions of Dilthey and Weber, and their relevance to contemporary understandings of humanology. Through an analysis of the fundamental epistemological assumptions of the modern scientific paradigm, the paper arrives at conclusions regarding the potential role of the humanological approach in its transformation and the original significance of the human sciences.
