interpretive theory  

Definición

  • Interpretive theory is constituted of a family of approaches rooted in the German idealist tradition, beginning with Immanuel Kant's emphasis on the importance of a priori knowledge of mind as preceding any attempt to grasp empirical experience. This tradition, which included theorists such as Wilhelm Dilthey, Max Weber, Edmund Husserl, and Alfred Schutz, provided the grounds for challenging sociological positivism.
