Modern hermeneutics and psychoanalysis.
Contemporary hermeneutics tries to integrate our unique, local sense of things with overarching nature, often by celebrating the concrete phenomenology of the moment at the expense of scientific abstractions. But abstractions are unavoidable. Hermeneuticists point out that we are constantly making new abstractions. But the more optional and variable views, which we call subjective, depend on the old, reliable abstractions, such as time, space, substance, and causality, that constitute our fixed reality. Hermeneutics usefully challenges psychoanalysis to justify its way of slicing up the mind and treatment process.
