A challenge currently facing human sciences researchers is recognizing the importance of creating a shared horizon of meaning in their work. To move towards this goal, researchers require an awareness of how their chosen conceptual framework creates a stricture through which they know and understand the individual. The methodological approach of philosophical interpretive hermeneutics emphasizes that what is learned from experience extends beyond the strictures of formalized method, thus offering a middle way of thinking in the research encounter. This article explores how interpretive hermeneutics can broaden the notion of research from one of simply knowing to one of understanding. It does so by engaging with Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, where researchers strive to embrace a constellation of philosophical outlooks rather than a specific philosophical method. A key insight in research involving philosophical interpretive hermeneutics is its emphasis on human experience.
人文科学研究者目前面临的一个挑战是认识到在其工作中创造共享意义视野的重要性。为了朝着这个目标前进，研究者需要意识到他们所选择的概念框架是如何通过一种限制来塑造他们认识和理解个体的方式。哲学解释学的方法论强调，从经验中学到的东西超越了形式化方法的限制，从而在研究过程中提供了一种中间的思维方式。本文探讨了解释学如何将研究的概念从简单的认知扩展到理解。它通过与伽达默尔的哲学解释学相结合来做到这一点，在这种解释学中，研究者努力接受一系列哲学观点，而不是一种特定的哲学方法。涉及哲学解释学的研究中的一个关键见解是其对人类经验的强调。
