The methodological paradigm put to the test in the humanist tradition:

Following Hans-Georg Gadamer, this essay shows that the scientific method has its limits, contrary to what modern authors have thought. According to Gadamer, humanistic values serve as a field of explanation for the human sciences, because the scientific method has no hold in the human sciences, because human experience is lived experience, not experimental experience as in the natural sciences. However, this is not to diminish the importance of method as a means of reaching truth. Far from it!
