Dilthey, Wilhelm

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | Copyright

Dilthey, Wilhelm (1833–1911), German philosopher. He was the virtual creator of the philosophy of history in its modern form. He stressed the fundamental differences between the methods of the humanities or ‘human sciences’ employed in the study of culture, art, religion, etc., and those adopted in the natural sciences. He was much influenced by F. D. E. Schleiermacher, and like him, he saw the art of understanding as an attempt to recreate the creative process of the writer or artist. He was, however, critical of the possibility of a systematic sociology, holding that the spiritual life was too complicated to be comprehended in formulas. His own studies in religion were especially directed to it as an element in human culture.
