Project description
This project investigates whether the human sciences can establish objective knowledge. In order to achieve this goal,the theories on objectifying rules of Rudolf Carnap and Ernst cassirer will be further developed specifically for the human sciences. Then the theories will be tested against specific cases in linguistics, historiography and anthropology.
