In this paper, we aim to demonstrate that Robin George Collingwood's thesis on understanding the past through rethinking has hermeneutical consequences that can be instrumental in approaching and understanding philosophical texts. We are concerned not only with understanding the historical past, but also with understanding the wider context in which certain philosophical writings were thought and penned. Therefore, the hermeneutic dimension of Collingwood's thought leads to some methodological principles, which are contrary to constructivist or deconstructivist assumptions of approaching written texts. Consequently, proceeding from the assumption that for Collingwood history itself is hermeneutic, we try to fulfill our intended objectives by supplementing the phenomenological method with hermeneutic analysis. The findings of the following study are hermeneutically relevant in that the past is incapsulated within the present and this implies the cancellation of the past-present divide and at the same time the actuality of (past) philosophical texts. We therefore propose the ruling principle that we rather understand the past from the perspective of the present than the present from the perspective of the past. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
