Abstract
This hermeneutical approach to the methodology of human knowledge, in the context of the continuing debate over the basic questions of knowledge and truth in the individual sciences and in philosophy, seeks to show man the way out of his present existential dilemma and guide him towards his self-emancipation from the current science dogma and technology cult. Its purpose is to make him aware of his being dominated by a one-dimensional, functionalistic way of thinking and of the dire consequences that spring from it. He is reminded that he is not a one-dimensional but a multi-dimensional being. In terms of the methodology ok knowledge, this means that there is only one type of knowledge but that there are various types, which are methodologically constituted as theories from man's basic contingent (variable, changing) experience of reality.
