Sumario: | Richard J. Bernstein's 'Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis' explores the interplay between objectivism and relativism in the context of science, philosophy, and history. Bernstein challenges traditional philosophical dichotomies and emphasizes the importance of hermeneutics and praxis in understanding rationality. The book addresses the 'Cartesian anxiety' and critiques modern philosophies by engaging with thinkers like Dewey, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger. Bernstein aims to foster a dialogue among diverse theoretical traditions, such as pragmatism, critical theory, and hermeneutics. The work is intended for scholars in philosophy, history, and social sciences, offering insights into the rational consideration of historical inquiry amid the historization of cultural notions.
