- Explanatory Understanding (Weber)
- In his view, the re-experience of empathy is not an absolute condition for meaning interpretation. On the contrary, in order for understanding to be "reasonable," it must be combined with rational and logical explanations. This is what sets Weber apart from Dilthey and others. Weber believes that understanding and interpretation are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they are interrelated and explain each other. Therefore, it is necessary to consider understanding and interpretation together. Understanding is the premise of interpretation, and understanding can be explained. In a sense, understanding is an explanation. The reverse is also true, interpretation is also an understanding. In Weber's own words, we regard the understanding of the meaning series of action as an explanation of the actual process of action.
- This "understanding" method encountered difficulties in practical application. In Weber's view, "understanding" should be based on the premise that the actor has a clear understanding of the meaning or motivation of his action, which is also the characteristic of action as human action. However, even Weber himself did not realize that In reality, people's actions are not always given a certain meaning, and actors are often in a "semi-conscious" or completely "unconscious" state of their actions. Without resolving this contradiction, understanding approaches will be dilemma.
