狄尔泰看到,他所处时代的历史哲学都有着不同程同的弊端,只有效仿康德的理性批判,即“历史理性批判”才可能解决这些问题。他要用“哲学的目的”来从事历史,“用具体的历史内容”去进行哲学。这样做的结果便是有了他的历史主义的诠释学。狄尔泰的历史主义诠释学使得历史性与历史意识重新进入哲学。 Dilthey saw that the philosophies of history in his time all had the same defects, and that only by following Kant ’s rational critique, that is, “criticism of historical rationality” could these problems be solved. He wants to use “philosophical purposes” to engage in history, “to use specific historical content” to carry out philosophy. The result of this is his historicist hermeneutics. Dilthey’s historical hermeneutics re-entered the philosophy of historicity and historical consciousness.
