Publish important studies on the renaissance, the reform and the philosophy of Hegel, his cardinal work is the introduction to the science of the spirit, Dilthey tried to prepare a doctrine, which could include the world, the life and the history, as well as the method to study the sciences of the nature, merely descriptive, it was considered to be perfectly established, it wanted to do the proper thing with that he was naming science of the spirit, which contains the man as object of study. His task directed to delimit the time of these sciences, which attracts attention is the opinion in the one that docks, that the psychology, like science also purely descriptive, not speculative and put up therefore against the morality and the metaphysics, it might be hardware fundamentally to gain access to the compression of all the cultural human creations, included the proper history.
These targets his put to subordinate for the first time the reason of the life precisely, Dilthey wanted to call to his of the life, but the totality of the human life is an incessant inseparable flow of the successive historical epochs, that's why the philosophy of Dilthey has a fully historical dimension or also in the making of a critique of the historical reason, destined to establish possibilities, limits and ways of the knowledge of the spiritual world, it confronted the comprehension of the individual thing in contribution to the study of the individuality and in the Birth of the hermeneutic one (1900), proposed solutions widely developed in the current theory.
