Obraz cz owieka w hermeneutyce Schleiermachera (The concept of human-being in the hermeneutics of Schleiermacher)

Schleiermacher, joining an ancient scheme, divides philosophy into dialectics, ethics and physics. There is no place for the hermeneutics in it. Both dialectics and ethics are speculative sciences. Hermeneutics, on the contrary, is a technical discipline that is placed near the politics and pedagogy. Does it mean that there are no connections between hermeneutics and ethics? No, there are. The answers on the essence of these connections devide the main interpreters of his philosophy: M. Frank says that hermeneutics is discovered closely to the dialectics which is its source. G. Scholtz does not negate that connection, but he at the same time suggests that the real source of hermeneutics is an anthropological vision contained in his ethics. My article is an attempt to take position in this discussion. It consists in three main parts: 1. Ethics and the concept of individuality Schleiermacher; 2. Ethical-anthropological presumptions of his hermeneutical notion of understanding; 3. Dialecticsas a dialogical conception of man.
