double hermeneutic  

Definición

  • This term was coined by the social theorist Anthony Giddens, who argues that the double hermeneutic characterizes the social sciences and serves to distinguish them from the natural sciences. The social scientist studies social phenomena (i.e., human actions of various kinds) that (unlike the objects studied in natural science) are already constituted as meaningful.
