Jürgen Habermas on Neo-Kantianism - Dictionary of Arguments

III 221
Neo-Kantianism/Habermas: Max Weber stands in the tradition of Neo-Kantianism. (1) In the theory of humanities and cultural studies, Windelband and Rickert hold positions similar to Dilthey and other philosophers of the Historical School.
>M. Weber
, >W. Dilthey, cf. >Historicism.
For the examination of evolutionary approaches in the social sciences, however, Neo-Kantianism has gained a special significance beyond its dualistic philosophy of science, because of his value theory.
>Value theory.
On a methodological level it emphasizes the distinction between being and should, between factual findings and value judgements, and in practical philosophy resolutely opposes all varieties of ethical naturalism.
>Facts, >Norms.
III 263
Neo-Kantianism: Thesis: Processes of value realization can be viewed simultaneously from outside and inside, understood as empirical processes and as objectivation of knowledge, and thus aspects of reality and validity can be connected. ((s) See is-ought problem, Naturalistic Fallacy).
