Hermeneutics as an Approach to Science: Part I.
Eger, Martin
Science and Education, v2 n1 p1-29 1993
Extends hermeneutic philosophy to the understanding of natural science, with a special interest in the significance of this for education. Shows how the "ontological" version of hermeneutics describes features of scientific activity neglected by most philosophies of science and education. To this end, the paper focuses especially on the biologist Barbara McClintock. (PR)
